drf-serializer-fields-permissions 0.2.0

Permissions for django-rest fields

Overview

This package provides a mixin for setting permissions to separate fields of ModelSerializer which uses DRF permission classes. You can hide or set a field as read-only for specific users.

Requirements

• Python (3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11)

• Django (2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2)

• Django REST Framework (3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14)

Installation

Install using pip

$ pip install drf_serializer_fields_permissions

Example

To show a field only for staff users you need to add show_only_to field to the Meta class of a serializer. show_only_for field must be a dict with two keys - fields and permission_classes. permission_classes is a list or a tuple of permission classes. You can use built-in DRF permission or create your own, but you must override has_permission method of BasePermission class. fields is list or tuple of serializer fields which will be shown only to staff users, in our case.

from rest_framework import serializers
from rest_framework import permissions

from .models import Project

from fields_permissions.mixins import FieldPermissionMixin


class ProjectSerializer(FieldPermissionMixin, serializers.ModelSerializer):

    class Meta:
        model = Project
        fields = ('id', 'name', 'status', 'description', 'team_lead_user')

        show_only_for = {
            'fields': ('team_lead_user',),
            'permission_classes': (permissions.IsAdminUser,)
        }
        write_only_for = {
            'fields': ('status', 'description'),
            'permission_classes': (permissions.IsAdminUser,)
        }
