Question

On POST I use the obj_create function to create a new instance of a workspace model. A workspace has an owner which is a Foreign field to a User. The data send from the client contains only a URI for the user of the form "/api/v1/users/1/". How can I get the full instance from my database?

I have used hydrate and get_via_uri from the docs but it didn’t work. Another possibility is to get the id of that user from the URI and query the database for the instance. However I am not sure of this is how I am supposed to do it (I am new to tastypie).

Answer 1

The documents are pretty clear on this: full=True
