If i use this
data = serializers.serialize('json', Book.objects.all())
return HttpResponse(data, mimetype='application/javascript') # Redirect after POST
Then i get json objects
but if i need to return single object
then i get error
data = serializers.serialize('json', singleObject)
return HttpResponse(data, mimetype='application/javascript') # Redirect after POST
The error says
object is not iterable
Read the docs on serialization
The arguments to the serialize function are the format to serialize the data to (see Serialization formats) and a QuerySet to serialize. (Actually, the second argument can be any iterator that yields Django objects, but it'll almost always be a QuerySet).
And then try like this:
data = serializers.serialize('json', [singleObject])
Also, this thread answers your question.
You can use filter instead of get to return single object.
