What are dynamic views

Dynamic views is a efficient way to reduce your amount of serializers.This is achieved because through the viewset that django_dynamic_fields provides, the fields can be selected depending on the action that is being performed

example:

class ArticleViewSet(DynamicViewSet):
	queryset = Article.objects.all()
	serializer_class = ArticleSerializer
	action_fields = {
		'list' : ('id', ,'title', 'pub_date', 'excerpt'),
		'retrieve': ('id', 'title', 'pub_date', 'text', 'author'),
	}

Features and advantage

• Create your own viewsets using concrete fields per action.
• Create serializers with dynamic fields
• Reusable components.
• Less amount of serializers

Tutorial:

Start using django_dynamic_fields is so easy. First we must create our custom serializer and make it inherit from DynamicFieldsModelSerializer.

class ArticleSerializer(DynamicFieldsModelSerializer):
	class Meta:
		model = Article
		fields = '__all__'

Easy as that. Then we must create our custom viewset like the example before.

class ArticleViewSet(DynamicViewSet):
	queryset = Article.objects.all()
	serializer_class = ArticleSerializer
	action_fields = {
		'list' : ('id', ,'title', 'pub_date', 'excerpt'),
		'retrieve': ('id', 'title', 'pub_date', 'text', 'author'),
	}

And thats all!! Happy hacking :)
