Question

Im sending a POST that creates a new simple Resource (not a ModelResource), and that works.

My question is how do I get back for example the created resource’s bundle property to the ajax response?

That’s the resource example :

class MyResource(Resource):
    x = fields.CharField(attribute='x')
    y = fields.CharField(attribute='y')

    class Meta:
        resource_name = 'myresource'
        object_class = XYObject
        authorization   = Authorization()

    def obj_create(self, bundle, request=None, **kwargs):
        x = bundle.data["x"]
        x = bundle.data["y"]
        bundle.obj = XYObject(x, y)
        return bundle

And this is the POST request

$.ajax({
               type: "POST",
               url: '/api/v1/myresource/',
               contentType: 'application/json',
               data: data,
               dataType: 'json',
               processData: false,
               success: function(response)
               {
                //get my resource here
               },
               error: function(response){
                   $("#messages").show('error');
                 }
               });

You can just add always_return_data = True to your Meta. You’ll then get a 202 with serialized data instead of the normal 201.
