i'm running type error, it's claiming <store: test store> not json serializable after running following code.
def storeliqour_view(request, store_id): objects = storeliquor.objects.filter(storeid=store_id) list_display = ['storeliquorid', 'storeid', 'storeprice', 'spi'] # extract information data = [[getattr(obj, field) field in list_display] obj in objects] #define response response = { 'aadata': data, 'itotalrecords': itotalrecords, 'itotaldisplayrecords': itotaldisplayrecords, 'secho': request.get['secho'] } #serialize json s = bytesio() json.dump(response, s, cls=mainencoder) s.seek(0) return httpresponse(s.read()) the <store: test store> in error comes me calling storeid field, foreign key store model. supposed return name of store, in case, "test store". produces typeerror.
i'm trying write custom encoder allow me return name of store based on storeid. can't seem figure out. have encoding decimals, code bellow shows, how continue? cool if change form html, maybe turn link.
class mainencoder(json.jsonencoder): def default(self, obj): if isinstance(obj, decimal): obj = float(obj) else: obj = super(mainencoder, self).default(obj) return obj
django has own documentation serializing objects, see https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/topics/serialization/#serialization-formats-json (take care of choosing right django version in lower right corner)
