How do I integrate serializers with views in my Django project?

To integrate serializers with views in Django, you typically use Django REST Framework. You can create a view that uses a serializer to validate and serialize data.

Can you show me a code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from rest_framework import generics
from .models import MyModel
from .serializers import MyModelSerializer

class MyModelListCreateView(generics.ListCreateAPIView):
    queryset = MyModel.objects.all()
    serializer_class = MyModelSerializer

This view will handle GET and POST requests for your model.

What if I want to add custom validation to my serializer?

You can override the validate method in your serializer class to add custom validation logic. For example:

def validate(self, data):
    if data['field'] < 0:
        raise serializers.ValidationError('Field must be non-negative.')
    return data
