DRF序列化和反序列化

声明序列化器

先声明对象

from datetime import datetime

class Comment(object):
    def __init__(self, email, content, created=None):
        self.email = email
        self.content = content
        self.created = created or datetime.now()

comment = Comment(email='leila@example.com', content='foo bar')

再声明一个序列化器

from rest_framework import serializers

class CommentSerializer(serializers.Serializer):
    email = serializers.EmailField()
    content = serializers.CharField(max_length=200)
    created = serializers.DateTimeField()

序列化

序列化就是将Model对象序列化成字符串用户传输

serializer = CommentSerializer(comment)  # comment是一个Comment类的实例
serializer.data
# {'email': 'leila@example.com', 'content': 'foo bar', 'created': '2016-01-27T15:17:10.375877'}

反序列化

就是将字符串反序列化成Model对象用于使用

# data一般是request.data这样的数据
serializer = CommentSerializer(data=data)
serializer.is_valid()
# True
serializer.validated_data  #一个字典，更准确地说，是一个OrderedDict，即排好序的字典

serializer.validated_data可以用于创建对象，这一般再serializer的create函数里实现

class CommentSerializer(serializers.Serializer):
    email = serializers.EmailField()
    content = serializers.CharField(max_length=200)
    created = serializers.DateTimeField()

    def create(self, validated_data):
        return Comment(**validated_data)

    def update(self, instance, validated_data):
        instance.email = validated_data.get('email', instance.email)
        instance.content = validated_data.get('content', instance.content)
        instance.created = validated_data.get('created', instance.created)
        return instance
