I have a Django queryset containing model objects with some fields being Decimal objects, a format that doesn't exist in json. I know how to use Django serializers to convert this queryset to json.
However, I need to wrap the queryset in a dictionary before sending it to the front-end, like so:
{ "type": "stream1", "data": queryset }
Serializers don't work here. Error is "AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute '_meta'". I understand why this is the case.
What I've tried (nested json objects):
I serialized the queryset and then added it to the dictionary before converting the dictionary to json. But this is inelegant since it requires the front-end to parse the dictionary first, and then parse the serialized value inside it. Makes for a poor experience.
How do I serialize the dictionary containing the Django queryset in one shot?
