Get Data from Choice field in Django rest framework - django

Question

I have searched and tried out all solutions provided for this question in similar problem but they're not working for me. I am getting the following error when trying to get data from an endpoint
Got AttributeError when attempting to get a value for field
hotel_type on serializer HotelDetailSerializer. The serializer
field might be named incorrectly and not match any attribute or key on
the Hotels instance. Original exception text was: 'Hotels' object
has no attribute 'get_hotel_Type_display'.
This is my model field truncated for clarity
class Hotels(models.Model):
HOTEL_TYPE = (
('hotel', "Hotel"),
('apartment', "Apartment"),
('villa', "Villa"),
hotel_Type = models.CharField(
max_length=20,
choices=HOTEL_TYPE,
default='hotel', null=True, blank=True
#property
def hotel_type(self):
return self.get_hotel_Type_display()
This is my serializer class also truncated for clarity
class HotelDetailSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
hotel_type = serializers.Field(source='hotel_type.hotel_Type')
class Meta:
model = Hotels
fields = ("hotel_type" )
This is the apiview
class HotelDetailAPIView(RetrieveAPIView):
"""Display details of a single hotel"""
queryset = Hotels.objects.all()
serializer_class = HotelDetailSerializer
permission_classes = ()
lookup_field = 'slug'
Could anyone kindly assist me figure out why this is not working? Thanks
EDIT
I am editing this question to add more context. I have been doing some debugging in Django shell. This is what i am getting
>>> from hotels.models import Hotels
>>> h = Hotels.objects.all()
>>> for n in h:
... print (n.hotel_Type)
...
(<django.db.models.fields.CharField>,)
>>> for n in h:
... print (n.get_hotel_Type_display())
...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<console>", line 2, in <module>
AttributeError: 'Hotels' object has no attribute 'get_hotel_Type_display'
I am following Django's get_FOO_display() tutorial and i still cannot get this work. I am not seeing anything wrong with my Hotels model. Could this be a bug in Django? Kindly assist

Answer 1

This really has eaten me up. I finally found the issue was a misplaced comma on my model field as shown below
class Hotels(models.Model):
HOTEL_TYPE = (
('hotel', "Hotel"),
('apartment', "Apartment"),
('villa', "Villa"),
hotel_Type = models.CharField(
max_length=20,
choices=HOTEL_TYPE,
default='hotel', null=True, blank=True
),# <--------------This comma was the source of my problems
#property
def hotel_type(self):
return self.get_hotel_Type_display()
