Question about accessing a referencefield from tastypie about django-tastypie-mongoengine

[mitar]

Where in you API have you defined reference fields for django-tastypie-mongoengine? Reference fields are not (cannot be) automatically mapped.

Oh thanks, I tried that before but didn't get it to work.
Now I have a partial result :
With :

class WorkspaceResource(mongoresources.MongoEngineResource):
    user = fields.ReferenceField(to='web.lisa.api.UserResource', attribute='id', full=True)

It results with :

{
  "error": [
    "ValidationError (Workspace:lisa) (Invalid Object ID: ['id'] Field is required: ['user'])"
  ]
}

Do you have an idea how could I map the user id please ? My UserResource just map the mongoengine User object.

Sorry to annoy you with a stupid question like this, I understood it isn't tastypie-mongoengine related issue, but I think it lacks a little documentation around the user object.

Thanks a lot for your time !

I don't understand what you would like to map? If you have in your workspace document attribute "id", then on your API resource you also should have field "id". You just have to specify it manually, because there is no way that the system would know which is the related resource.

So what do you believe this line:

user = fields.ReferenceField(to='web.lisa.api.UserResource', attribute='id', full=True)

does?

BTW, you can always check tests for more examples as well.

Hello, thanks for your tips.
I fixed it with this : Seraf/LISA@bd644ca
I tried this by looking your unit tests. Don't know if it's the right way to go, but it works.

Thanks a lot !
