I created the following fieldmodels.py
added_by = models.ForeignKey(
settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
and it contained the user Id , but how to make it contain the username instead.

ForeightKey key always reference with an id.If you want to display the username you can do something like added_by.username

my views.py look like this ` class PaperG(APIView): def get(self, request, format=None): # i could try models.added_by.username or request.username but I don't know how to implement that snippets = Post.objects.all() serializer = SerlizePaper(snippets, many=True) return Response(serializer.data) `
If you're using Django Rest Framework, then here's your solution:
class Your_Model_Serializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
added_by = serializers.CharField()
class Meta:
model = Your_Model_Object
fields = ['added_by']
Notice the added_by =serializers.Charfield()? That will return the ForeignKey as text not ID.
usernamewithuser_id, Wherever you want to access.
