get the related records in a serializer - django - django

Question

I am trying to obtain in a query the data of a client and the contacts he has registered I tried to do it in the following way but it did not work.
class ClientReadOnlySerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
clientcontacts = ClientContactSerializer(many=True, read_only=True)
class Meta:
model = Client
fields = "__all__"
Is there any way to make this relationship nested?
these are my models
clients model
# Relations
from apps.misc.models import City, TypeIdentity, TypeCLient, CIIU
from apps.clients.api.models.broker.index import Broker
from apps.authentication.models import User
class Client(models.Model):
id = models.CharField(max_length=255, unique=True,primary_key=True, editable=False)
type_client = models.ForeignKey(TypeCLient, on_delete=models.CASCADE, blank=True)
type_identity = models.ForeignKey(TypeIdentity, on_delete=models.CASCADE, blank=True)
document_number = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True, unique=True)
first_name = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True, null=True)
last_name = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True, null=True)
social_reason = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True, null=True)
city = models.ForeignKey(City, on_delete=models.CASCADE, blank=True)
address = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True)
email = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True, unique=True)
phone_number = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True, unique=True)
ciiu = models.ForeignKey(CIIU, on_delete=models.CASCADE, blank=True)
broker = models.ForeignKey(Broker, on_delete=models.CASCADE, blank=True)
user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, blank=True)
income = models.SmallIntegerField(blank=True, default=0)
state = models.BooleanField(default=True)
created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
updated_at = models.DateTimeField(null=True, default=None)
client contacts model
# Relations
from apps.clients.api.models.index import Client
class ClientContact(models.Model):
id = models.CharField(max_length=255, primary_key=True, unique=True, editable=False)
client = models.ForeignKey(Client, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
first_name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
last_name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
phone_number = models.CharField(max_length=255)
state = models.BooleanField(default=True)
created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
updated_at = models.DateTimeField(null=True, blank=True, default=None)

after some research I came up with a solution that doesn't seem very practical, what I did was to create a method in the serializer that queries the client's contacts as follows
class ClientReadOnlySerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
contacts = serializers.SerializerMethodField(method_name='get_contacts')
class Meta:
model = Client
fields = "__all__"
extra_fields = ['contacts']
def get_contacts(self, obj):
contacts = ClientContact.objects.filter(client=obj)
serializer = ClientContactSerializer(contacts, many=True)
return serializer.data
using the model and the serializer of the contact model I made a query which I added in an extra field of the customer serializer, if someone knows how to make this process more optimal please reply.
