⚠️⚠️⚠️

WARNING This project is not maintained anymore, it is now vendored into the main django-taggit project, documentation on Django Rest Framework integration can be found here:

https://django-taggit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/serializers.html

Thank you all - you lovely people - for your contributations and/or usage! <3

This package is meant for the django-taggit package which is available here

The django-taggit package makes it possible to tag a certain module.

To install this package you can use the following pip installation:

pip install django-taggit-serializer

Then, add taggit_serializer to your Settings in INSTALLED_APPS:

    INSTALLED_APS = (
        ...
        'taggit_serializer',
    )

Because the tags in django-taggit need to be added into a TaggableManager() we cannot use the usual Serializer that we get from Django REST Framework. Because this is trying to save the tags into a list, which will throw an exception.

To accept tags through a REST API call we need to add the following to our Serializer:

from taggit_serializer.serializers import (TagListSerializerField,
                                           TaggitSerializer)


class YourSerializer(TaggitSerializer, serializers.ModelSerializer):

    tags = TagListSerializerField()

    class Meta:
        model = YourModel

And you're done, so now you can add tags to your model
