How to use hyperlinks to represent relationships instead of primary keys in Django REST framework -

i want object index "resource_uri" instead id take usual way create model , views , serializers :

class user(basemodel): user = models.foreignkey(settings.auth_user_model) models.charfield() class userserailizers(serializers.modelserializer): class meta: model = user fields = ('id','user','formatted_address') classclass userlist(generics.listcreateapiview): queryset = image.objects.all() serializer_class = userserializer

when phone call < my_domain/user/ > response

{ id:1, name:'toto' }

but want have reply form:

{ 'url': my_domain/user/1/ 'name': 'toto' }

any thoughts?

if want hyperlink instead of primary key in model representations, have utilize either hyperlinkedmodelserializer or more generic serializer along hyperlinkedidentityfield and/or hyperlinkedrelatedfield. former looking for.

the hyperlinkedmodelserializer class similar modelserializer class except uses hyperlinks represent relationships, rather primary keys.

see django rest framework documentation more details.
