In continuation to this question, can you please give an example of a valid input json to simultaneously create a new User and UserProfile?
While this successfully creates a new user on User end-point:
{
"username": "newuser",
"password": "abc"
}
But this fails on UserProfile end-point:
{
"user":{
"username": "newuser2",
"password": "abc"
}
"biography": "1",
}
Returning:
{
"user": [
"This field cannot be null."
]
}
What you're looking for is read+write support for nested resources which will soon be supported, but is not as of yet.
However, if you link your user profile model to the user model with a HyperlinkedRelatedField you could first create a user and then create a user profile with the created user's URI as user argument. Assuming you have the following user profile model and serializer::
# Model:
class UserProfile(models.Model):
country = models.CharField(max_length=127)
wants_newsletter = models.BooleanField(default=False)
# Serializer:
class UserProfile(serializers.ModelSerializer):
user = serializers.HyperlinkedRelatedField('user-detail')
class Meta:
fields = ('country', 'wants_newsletter')
... and a user object at users/1/, you could create a new user profile for the given user with the following POST request to the user profile endpoint::
{
"country": "Switzerland",
"user": "/users/1/"
}
If that's too many requests for you, take a a look at the docs.
