Adding Additional Fields to a ModelSerializer using SerializerMethodField (Django Rest framework)

In this video I show you how to add extra fields to Serializers when using the django rest framework. I use something called s Serializer Method Field, which is part of the ModelSerializer class.

where did "blog_post" come from?

[bobocsabin]

are you able to use a SerializerMethod to also write to the model ?

Let's say you want to add to the blog_post model into title field something like: "username_and then the title"
Hence, you will send a json with all the blog_post data and the "username" field and then to have a way of taking the data from the "username" field and write it into blog_post title field.

I'm sorry but where is the "blog_form" coming from again?
