I want to retrieve related fields as JSON format using Rest - django

Question

I want to retrieve Student user fields, but I am having a hard time
trying to figure out how to do that I tried reading docs but still
confused
Studentserializer
class StudentSerializer(serializers.Serializer):
class Meta:
model = Student
fields = ['id', 'user', 'name', 'course']
def create(self, validated_data):
Student_det = Student.objects.create(**validated_data)
return Student_det
serializer view
def Student_list(request):
if request.method == 'GET':
stud = Student.objects.all()
serialized = StudentSerializer(stud, many=True)
print(serialized.data)
return JsonResponse(serialized.data, safe=False)
Student Model
class Student (models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
course = models.CharField(max_length=255)

You can check here. I think the part about nested serializers is what you need.
class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ("id", "first_name", "last_name", ) # and you can add other fields here "email", "date_joined", etc.
class StudentSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
user = UserSerializer()
class Meta:
model = Student
fields = ("id", "user", "name", "course", )
This will serialize your Student model like
{
"id": 1,
"user": {
"id": 1,
"first_name": "Example",
"last_name": "User"
}
"name": "student name",
"course": "course name"
}
