当我试图使用django-rest框架将django站点转换为API时，我遇到了这个问题。通常django会从数据库中返回三种类型的对象。它们包括一个查询集、一个模型实例和一个分页器对象。对我来说，这些是需要转换的。

查询集

queryset就像django中的模型对象列表。这是把它转换成字典的代码。

model_data=Model.object.all()# This returns a queryset object
model_to_dict=[model for model in model_data.values()]
return Response(model_to_dict,status=status.HTTP_200_OK)

模型实例

模型实例是模型的单个对象。

model_instance=Model.objects.get(pk=1)# This will return only a single model object
model_to_dict=model_to_dict(model_instance)
return Response(model_to_dict,status=status.HTTP_200_OK)

Paginator对象

分页器对象是一个包含特定页面的模型对象的对象。

model_queryset=Model.objects.all()
paginator = Paginator(model_queryset, 10)
try:
    selected_results = paginator.page(page)
except Exception:
    selected_results=result
paginator_to_dict=list(selected_results.object_list.values())
return Response(selected_results,status=status.HTTP_200_OK)

至少我是这么解决的。

来自@zags的答案是全面的，应该足够了，但#5方法(这是最好的一个IMO)抛出一个错误，所以我改进了helper函数。

由于OP请求将many_to_many字段转换为主键列表而不是对象列表，因此我增强了函数，使返回值现在是JSON可序列化的——通过将datetime对象转换为str，将many_to_many对象转换为id列表。

import datetime

def ModelToDict(instance):
    '''
    Returns a dictionary object containing complete field-value pairs of the given instance

    Convertion rules:

        datetime.date --> str
        many_to_many --> list of id's

    '''

    concrete_fields = instance._meta.concrete_fields
    m2m_fields = instance._meta.many_to_many
    data = {}

    for field in concrete_fields:
        key = field.name
        value = field.value_from_object(instance)
        if type(value) == datetime.datetime:
            value = str(field.value_from_object(instance))
        data[key] = value

    for field in m2m_fields:
        key = field.name
        value = field.value_from_object(instance)
        data[key] = [rel.id for rel in value]

    return data

你见过的最好的解决方案。

我喜欢将模型实例转换为dict进行快照测试，以下是我如何做到的:

注意:这里有camelize选项，因为如果api响应返回cammelized的对象，最好保持所有快照一致，无论是来自模型实例还是api调用。

from rest_framework import serializers
from djangorestframework_camel_case.util import camelize as _camelize

def model_to_dict(instance, camelize=False):
    """
    Convert a model instance to dict.
    """
    class Serializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
        class Meta:
            model = type(instance)
            fields = "__all__"
    data = Serializer(instance).data
    if camelize:
        data = _camelize(data)
    # convert from ordered dict to dict
    return dict(data)

更新

@zags发布的更新的聚合答案比我自己的更完整、更优雅。请参考那个答案。

原始

如果您愿意像@karthiker建议的那样定义自己的to_dict方法，那么这就将这个问题归结为一个集合问题。

>>># Returns a set of all keys excluding editable = False keys
>>>dict = model_to_dict(instance)
>>>dict

{u'id': 1L, 'reference1': 1L, 'reference2': [1L], 'value': 1}


>>># Returns a set of editable = False keys, misnamed foreign keys, and normal keys
>>>otherDict = SomeModel.objects.filter(id=instance.id).values()[0]
>>>otherDict

{'created': datetime.datetime(2014, 2, 21, 4, 38, 51, tzinfo=<UTC>),
 u'id': 1L,
 'reference1_id': 1L,
 'value': 1L,
 'value2': 2L}

我们需要从otherDict中删除错误标记的外键。

为此，我们可以使用循环创建一个新字典，其中包含除下划线以外的所有项。或者，为了节省时间，我们可以将它们添加到原始字典中，因为字典只是在引子下面设置的。

>>>for item in otherDict.items():
...    if "_" not in item[0]:
...            dict.update({item[0]:item[1]})
...
>>>

因此，我们留下了以下的词典:

>>>dict
{'created': datetime.datetime(2014, 2, 21, 4, 38, 51, tzinfo=<UTC>),
 u'id': 1L,
 'reference1': 1L,
 'reference2': [1L],
 'value': 1,
 'value2': 2L}

你只需要返回这个。

缺点是，你不能在editable=false字段名中使用下划线。有利的是，这将适用于用户创建的字段不包含下划线的任何字段集。

这不是最好的方法，但在找到更直接的方法之前，它可以作为临时解决方案。

对于下面的示例，dict将基于model_to_dict形成，otherDict将由filter的values方法形成。我本可以对模型本身这样做，但我不能让我的机器接受otherModel。

>>> import datetime
>>> dict = {u'id': 1, 'reference1': 1, 'reference2': [1], 'value': 1}
>>> otherDict = {'created': datetime.datetime(2014, 2, 21, 4, 38, 51), u'id': 1, 'reference1_id': 1, 'value': 1, 'value2': 2}
>>> for item in otherDict.items():
...     if "_" not in item[0]:
...             dict.update({item[0]:item[1]})
...
>>> dict
{'reference1': 1, 'created': datetime.datetime(2014, 2, 21, 4, 38, 51), 'value2': 2, 'value': 1, 'id': 1, 'reference2': [1]}
>>>

我希望这能让你对你的问题有一个大致的答案。

我找到了一个很好的解决方法:

假设你有一个模型对象o:

就叫:

type(o).objects.filter(pk=o.pk).values().first()
