django rest framework many to many serialize and apiview - django-rest-framework

Question

I am creating APIView for book list and add, delete.
Is this serialization the right way?
I want to show a list of books, but I do not know what to put in '?'.
member/models.py
class MyUser(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):
username = models.EmailField(unique=True, max_length=256)
nickname = models.CharField(max_length=256)
is_staff = models.BooleanField(default=False)
created_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
mybook = models.ManyToManyField(Book)
book/models.py
from django.db import models
class Book(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=256)
author = models.CharField(max_length=200)
def __str__(self):
return self.title
book/seralizers.py
from rest_framework import serializers
from book.models import Book
class MyBookSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
mybook = serializers.PrimaryKeyRelatedField(many=True, read_only=True)
class Meta:
model = Book
fields = (
'title',
'author',
)
apiview.py
class MyBook(APIView):
def get(self, request):
mybook = Book.objects.filter(myuser=?)
serializer = MyBookSerializer(mybook)
return Response(serializer.data, status=status.HTTP_200_OK)
def post(self, request):
pass
def delete(self, request):
pass

If you want create a CRUD for model, depends on a request.user you can simply use ModelViewSet:
from rest_framework import viewsets
class MyBookViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
serializer_class = MyBookSerializer
def get_queryset(self, request):
return Book.objects.filter(myuser=self.request.user)
That's all for view. You only need to specify router for a viewset.
urls.py:
from rest_framework import routers
router = routers.DefaultRouter()
router.register('books', MyBookViewSet)
urlpatterns = []
urlpatterns += router.urls
Include this usl file in a root urls and you are done.
You also need to specify related_name for m2m field if you want to use myuser name:
mybook = models.ManyToManyField(Book, related_name='myuser')
And you don't need this field in a serializer:
mybook = serializers.PrimaryKeyRelatedField(many=True, read_only=True)
