pass username from token to save username in model - django

Question

This is my model file which has the owner field name
class PotholeImages(models.Model):
"""Upload images with details """
image = models.ImageField(
upload_to='photos/%Y/%m/%d',
)
owner = models.ForeignKey(
settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL,
on_delete=models.CASCADE,
default = 'unknown',
)
state_name = models.CharField(
blank = False,
max_length = 30,
default = 'unknown',
)
country_name = models.CharField(
blank = False,
max_length = 30,
default = 'unknown',
)
name = models.CharField(default=uuid.uuid4, max_length=40)
cordinate_X = models.DecimalField(max_digits=22, decimal_places=16)
cordinate_Y = models.DecimalField(max_digits=22, decimal_places=16)
created_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
road_name = models.CharField(max_length = 100, default = 'unknown')
def __str__(self):
return self.name
Serializer file
class ImageSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
"""Uploading Pothoele Images"""
class Meta:
model = PotholeImages
fields = ('image','state_name',
'country_name','cordinate_X',
'cordinate_Y','road_name',)
def to_representation(self, instance):
rep = super(ImageSerializer, self).to_representation(instance)
rep['owner'] = instance.owner.username
# print(rep)
return rep
views file
class ImageViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
authentication_classes = (TokenAuthentication,)
permission_classes = (IsAuthenticated,)
queryset = PotholeImages.objects.all()
serializer_class = serializers.ImageSerializer
def perform_create(self, serializer):
print(self.request.user)
serializer.save(user=self.request.user)
I want whenever a person sends a post request on
http://127.0.0.1:8000/images_api/imageView/
Then from the token, username gets detected and it should be passed in the owner field name.
Could anyone please help
Thanks

Finally, I have found the answer I have made through APIView
class ImageAPIView(APIView):
authentication_classes = (TokenAuthentication,)
def post(self, request):
## username
user = request.user
is_tokened = Token.objects.filter(user = user)
print("user name is ", user)
data = request.data
data['owner'] = user.id
serializer = serializers.ImageSerializer(data=data)
if serializer.is_valid():
serializer.save()
return Response(serializer.data, status=200)
ResponseData = "{} image sent by user".format(user.id)
return Response(ResponseData, status=status.HTTP_200_OK)
