It provides two main components: one maps model types to their respective serializers for serializing a single generic relationship to any of several possible models, and another handles serializing mixed lists of different model instances, delegating to the appropriate serializer based on each object's type.\n\nThe library is designed for scenarios where a single model field points to multiple unrelated model types. It handles both read and write operations, though write support relies on the nested serializers' ability to deserialize. The package is stable and maintained for bug fixes and compatibility updates, though no major feature development is planned.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to serialize Django generic foreign keys in REST APIs. The package is well-suited for its narrow purpose, has no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and permissive licensing. The dormant maintenance status is not a concern for a stable, focused library\u2014it indicates the maintainer will fix bugs and keep compatibility current rather than add new features. Use it when your API design genuinely requires polymorphic relations."},"id":"rest-framework-generic-relations","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/rest-framework-generic-relations","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/rest-framework-generic-relations.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/rest-framework-generic-relations/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-03-27","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"rest-framework-generic-relations","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Generic Relations for Django Rest Framework"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":123619,"position":11903,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.2.0"}
