Suppose you have a BaseClass and ChildClass1, ChildClass2 with its own fields.

I want to give create a url end point where I can return a list of mixed models with their own fields included.

[
 childClass1_obj1,
 childClass2_obj2,
 childClass1_obj3
]

I have serializers for each type already setup, and would be good to reuse it somewhere, but if that's not possible, I can live with any solution that works.

Return results from multiple models with Django REST Framework talks about similar stuff, but he only serializes the common part of the two.

  • @HairyChris: wow, that one is close.. I tried polymorphic-models, but didn't get it to work (probably due to the fact my models has additional related fields to each other other than parent_link).. I actually tried overriding to_native , but didn't quite get it to work either. Commented Oct 15, 2014 at 16:01
  • This is another approach: stackoverflow.com/questions/24048595/… but the author mentions potential performance problems. Commented Oct 15, 2014 at 16:12
