Can't get it to work

[Designer023]

Could you expand your example to show a full example model using stdimage and the full serialiser please? It might be obvious to most people but I just can't seem to get it to work at all so not sure if I'm putting things in the wrong place.

Thanks

I'm sorry you can't get it to work, could you give a little example code of what you're trying to do and what you're stuck on?

Thank you for taking a look. I am trying to get the image field on my PortfolioItem model. When I add the stdimage_serializer.fields there is no change in the output of my api. It just outputs the original. I tried a few variations and different names for the field in the serializer but no luck. Any ideas would be great. Thanks

Same issue here. The serialized field just contains the default, original image URL. Looks like you need to implement def to_representation(self, obj) instead of to_native per http://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/fields/#examples

@Designer023 did you try to put StdImageField to the serializer?

https://github.com/glemmaPaul/django-stdimage-serializer#usage

Example:

from stdimage_serializer.fields import StdImageField

class Serializer(BaseSerializer):
    image = StdImageField()
