Use case: I have an object which is represented as a dict, and the dict keys are dynamic. Thus, I can't simply create a serializer with each key as a field like you normally would. Instead my "serializer" is a
DictField
and I'm validating the keys.My problem is that I can't use a
Field
as aSerializer
. ASerializer
is aField
but not the other way around. I can of course create a serializer that just contains this customDictField
, but this seems slightly roundabout. I'm adding an unnecessary extra layer to my object by doing it this way.vs.
Is there a way to declare a serializer which uses a field as itself, or do I need to add a dummy field?
