How to get the full URL of the image value of a Python Django REST framework Imagefield?
To get the full URL of the image value of a Python Django REST framework Imagefield, we can get it from the image value’s url property.
For instance, we write
class CarSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
photo_url = serializers.SerializerMethodField()
class Meta:
model = Car
fields = ('id','name','price', 'photo_url')
def get_photo_url(self, car):
request = self.context.get('request')
photo_url = car.photo.url
return request.build_absolute_uri(photo_url)
to create the CarSerializer that get the URL of the car.photo image from car.photo.url.
And then we call request.build_absolute_uri with the URL to return the absolute URL.
