So after Googling and trying a lot, I came up with this masterpiece code :)
This code is very simple does not require any JSON serialization.
In the code below, we are creating a JSON objects for a Quiz app with Question Model, and Choices Model
the choices model is a foreign field (one to many - one question can have many choices) to Question model.
we first convert the queryset to a list so it's easier to iterate.
rest you can understand by looking at the code itself.
allQuestions = list(Question.objects.all())
data = []
for questionObj in allQuestions:
item = {"id":questionObj.id, "question": questionObj.question, "choices":[]}
for choiceObj in questionObj.choices.all():
item["choices"].append({"position":choiceObj.position, "choice":choiceObj.choice})
data.append(item)
Data will contain JSON like shown here
[
{
"id": 2,
"question": "What is the capital of India?",
"choices": [
{
"position": 1,
"choice": "Mumbai"
},
{
"position": 2,
"choice": "Delhi"
},
{
"position": 3,
"choice": "Goa"
}
]
},
{
"id": 3,
"question": "Why so serious?",
"choices": [
{
"position": 1,
"choice": "Batman"
},
{
"position": 2,
"choice": "Joker"
},
{
"position": 3,
"choice": "Monkey"
},
{
"position": 4,
"choice": "Bunny"
}
]
}
]
