Question

Is there a way to force if the fields should be full in the api url?

For example, now you select if the field is full by doing:

class FooResource(ModelResource):
    foo = fields.ForeignKey(FooFooResource, 'foo', full=True)

Is it possible to overwrite the full in the url by doing something like:

example.com/api/foo/?foo__full=false

or

example.com/api/foo/?foo__full=true

This is the code to make it work:

class RelatedResource(ModelResource):
    user = fields.ToOneField(UserResource, 'user')

    class Meta:
        queryset = Related.objects.all()
        resource_name = 'related'


class UserResource(ModelResource):
    related = fields.ToOneField(RelatedResource, 'related', full=False) # Default is false

    class Meta:
        queryset = User.objects.all()
        resource_name = 'user'

    def dehydrate(self, bundle):
        show_full = bundle.request.GET.get('full', "false").lower() == "true"
        if show_full:
            old_full = self.related.full
            self.related.full = True
            bundle.data['related'] = self.related.dehydrate(bundle)
            self.related.full = old_full
        return bundle
