Serializing One Field From A ManyToManyField DRF

I have been lot of posts, the DRF documentation (which needs LOT of love), and I couldn't find yet how to do this without a complicated mess. I need this output: [{'id':1,'name':'m

Solution 1:

You just need a SlugRelatedField:

class CheckSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):

    subscribers = serializers.SlugRelatedField(many=True, read_only=True, slug_field='name')

    class Meta:
        model = Check
        fields = ('id', 'name', 'subscribers')
