I'm trying to create an async view to solve an endpoint with Django 3.1.
I have my AsyncView and within this view I have the next code lines :
try:
db_result= await sync_to_async(list)(Plan.objects.filter())
serializer = MySerializer(db_results, many=True)
return serializer.data
except Exception:
# Handle Exception Code
Within my serializer I have a custom field. Its data is retrieved doing other queries to the Database using its obj property. This is where I am having some problems since this is an async context.
Serializer Code:
MySerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
custom_field = serializers.SerializerMethodField(required=False)
def get_custom_field(self, obj):
try:
# This is failing, is not retrieving data from DB since it's async context
related_stuff = obj.related_stuff.filter(filter_condition=filter_condition)
# More code after this
.
.
.
.
return custom_field_object
except Exception:
return None
I've tried to put an await before the Serializer in my View Code and add async property to get_custom_field method (with the sync_to_async operator in the db query). Got nothing.
Anyone know how to solve this specific problem?
