Display UUID or slug instead of the ID.

[jaimeres]

Hi,
Is it possible to hide the numerical ID and instead display a slug or UUID, similar to how DRF uses lookup_field?

python

class AssetViewSet(ModelViewSet):
    serializer_class = AssetSerializer
    lookup_field = 'slug'

class Asset(models.Model):
    slug = models.SlugField(max_length=36, unique=True, editable=False, default=uuid.uuid4)
    name = models.CharField(max_length=50)

Desired outcome

{
    "data": {
        "type": "asset",
        "id": "81866c4d-35a6-4b33-9b79-3b5e90e2a3db",
        "attributes": {
            "name": "Example"
        }
    }
}

Try as indicated in the documentation.

**Overwriting the resource object’s id

Per default the primary key property pk on the instance is used as the resource identifier.

It is possible to overwrite the resource id by defining an id field on the serializer like:**

class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    id = serializers.CharField(source='email')
    name = serializers.CharField()

    class Meta:
        model = User
