如何访问DRF中ListSerializer父类上的serializer.data？

Question

在返回到Response(serializer.data, status=something)之前，尝试访问serializer.data时出现错误：

Getting KeyError when attempting to get a value for field <field> on serializer <serializer>.

这发生在所有字段上（因为我试图访问父字段而不是子字段上的.data，请参见下文）

类定义如下：

class BulkProductSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):

    list_serializer_class = CustomProductListSerializer

    user = serializers.CharField(source='fk_user.username', read_only=False)

    class Meta:
        model = Product
        fields = (
            'user',
            'uuid',
            'product_code',
            ...,
        )

CustomProductListSerializer是一个serializers.ListSerializer，并且有一个重写的save()方法，允许它正确地处理批量创建和更新。

以下是批量产品ViewSet的示例视图：

def partial_update(self, request):

    serializer = self.get_serializer(data=request.data,
                        many=isinstance(request.data, list),
                        partial=True)
    if not serializer.is_valid():
        return Response(serializer.errors, status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST)
    serializer.save()
    pdb.set_trace()
    return Response(serializer.data, status=status.HTTP_200_OK)

试图访问跟踪（或者后面的行）处的serializer.data会导致错误。下面是完整的跟踪（tl；dr skip，下面是我用调试器诊断的地方）：

KeyError: "Got KeyError when attempting to get a value for field `user` on serializer `BulkProductSerializer`.\nThe serializer field might be named incorrectly and not match any attribute or key on the `OrderedDict` instance.\nOriginal exception text was: 'fk_user'."

在回溯的L657处（source here)）我得到：

iterable = data.all() if isinstance(data, models.Manager) else data
return [
    self.child.to_representation(item) for item in iterable
]

这使我想知道（进一步深入跟踪）为什么serializer.fields不可用。我怀疑这是因为序列化程序是一个CustomProductListSerializer父对象，而不是BulkProductSerializer子对象，我是对的。在返回Response(serializer.data)之前的pdb跟踪中：

(Pdb) serializer.fields
*** AttributeError: 'CustomProductListSerializer' object has no attribute 'fields'
(Pdb) serializer.child.fields
{'uuid': UUIDField(read_only=False, required=False, validators=[]) ...(etc)}
(Pdb) 'user' in serializer.child.fields
True
(Pdb) serializer.data
*** KeyError: "Got KeyError when attempting to get a value for field `user` on serializer `BulkProductSerializer`.\nThe serializer field might be named incorrectly and not match any attribute or key on the `OrderedDict` instance.\nOriginal exception text was: 'fk_user'."
(Pdb) serializer.child.data
{'uuid': '08ec13c0-ab6c-45d4-89ab-400019874c63', ...(etc)}

好的，那么在我的ViewSet中描述的情况下，正确的方法是获取完整的serializer.data，并在父序列化程序类的resopnse中返回它？

编辑：

class CustomProductListSerializer(serializers.ListSerializer):

    def save(self):
        instances = []
        result = []
        pdb.set_trace()
        for obj in self.validated_data:
            uuid = obj.get('uuid', None)
            if uuid:
                instance = get_object_or_404(Product, uuid=uuid)
                # Specify which fields to update, otherwise save() tries to SQL SET all fields.
                # Gotcha: remove the primary key, because update_fields will throw exception.
                # see https://stackoverflow.com/a/45494046
                update_fields = [k for k,v in obj.items() if k != 'uuid']
                for k, v in obj.items():
                    if k != 'uuid':
                        setattr(instance, k, v)
                instance.save(update_fields=update_fields)
                result.append(instance)
            else:
                instances.append(Product(**obj))

        if len(instances) > 0:
            Product.objects.bulk_create(instances)
            result += instances

        return result

Answer 1

在我试图访问serializer.data并获取KeyError的跟踪中，我注意到serializer.data只包含initial_data中的key/vaule对，而不包含实例数据（因此，我假设KeyError；某些模型字段的key不存在，因为它是一个partial_update请求）。但是，serializer.child.data包含列表中最后一个子项的所有实例数据。

所以，我转到定义data的^{} source：

249    @property
250    def data(self):
251        if hasattr(self, 'initial_data') and not hasattr(self, '_validated_data'):
252            msg = (
253                'When a serializer is passed a `data` keyword argument you '
254                'must call `.is_valid()` before attempting to access the '
255                'serialized `.data` representation.\n'
256                'You should either call `.is_valid()` first, '
257                'or access `.initial_data` instead.'
258            )
259            raise AssertionError(msg)
260
261        if not hasattr(self, '_data'):
262            if self.instance is not None and not getattr(self, '_errors', None):
263                self._data = self.to_representation(self.instance)
264            elif hasattr(self, '_validated_data') and not getattr(self, '_errors', None):
265                self._data = self.to_representation(self.validated_data)
266            else:
267                self._data = self.get_initial()
268        return self._data

第265行有问题。我可以通过在断点处调用serializer.child.to_representation({'uuid': '87956604-fbcb-4244-bda3-9e39075d510a', 'product_code': 'foobar'})来复制错误。

调用partial_update()在单个实例上工作正常（因为self.instance已设置，self.to_representation(self.instance)工作正常）。但是，对于批量部分更新（）实现，self.validated_data缺少模型字段，to_representation()将无法工作，因此我将无法访问.data属性。

一种选择是维护某种类型的产品实例列表，并在第265行重写data的定义：

self._data = self.to_representation(self.instances)

不过，我真的更喜欢有经验的人回答这类问题，因为我不确定这是否是一个明智的解决方案，因此我将悬赏金留空，希望有人能建议一些更明智的做法。
