Force model fields to be full in the url

[miki725]

Is there any way to overwrite if the field in the modelresource should be full in the resource's url?

Basically if the resourcemodel is:

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

then to overwrite it in the url by doing

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

or

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

There isn't a built-in way to do this right now. It's possible to do in dehydrate, checking if bundle.request.GET.get('foo__full', True) == False then just swapping out the data in bundle.data. Takes a little bit of code though.

I created a quick fix for this issue: https://gist.github.com/2897326

I think it should be really easy to integrate it into the core.

@toastdriven Do you want me to give it a try?

[toastdriven]

@santiagobasulto Unfortunately, that's modifying the field on the instance, likely causing subsequent requests to have behavior "leaked" from previous requests. -0 on that implementation.

So @toastdriven I've got another way of doing this in the dehydrate_related function

This is just kinda a dump of how I'm using it now. I'd like to add permissions checking via the Meta class filtering section, but wanted to get a quick "Yay this idea looks good" or "Boo, this causes other problems"
