ManyRelatedField support

[onebit0fme]

Thanks for the package, although I've spent quite some time to make it work with ManyRelatedField, even though the solution was quite simple.

The reason I use ManyRelatedField is because ListField raises 'RelatedManager' is not iterable, which makes sense.

My solution is:

class RecursiveManyRelatedField(serializers.ManyRelatedField, serializers.BaseSerializer):
    pass

class CommentSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    children = RecursiveManyRelatedField(child_relation=RecursiveField(to='CommentSerializer', allow_null=True), read_only=True)

to avoid:

assert issubclass(parent_class, BaseSerializer)   #line 83 of fileds.py

Works like a charm, just thought it should be supported. Thank you.

What version of django-rest-framework are you using?

could you give me a snippet of what your model looks like?

False alarm

I forgot that I can set many=True, thus fixing my issue. Duh. Instead, I 'hacked' it with the following:

serializers.py

class RecursiveManyRelatedField(serializers.ManyRelatedField, serializers.BaseSerializer):
    """ 
    Workaround to avoid "assert issubclass(parent_class, BaseSerializer)"
    """
    pass

class NodeCommentSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    parent = serializers.PrimaryKeyRelatedField(queryset=NodeComment.objects.all(), allow_null=True)

    children = RecursiveManyRelatedField(child_relation=RecursiveField(to='NodeCommentSerializer', allow_null=True), read_only=True)

    # This is how it supposed to be:
    # children = RecursiveField(to='NodeCommentSerializer', many=True, read_only=True)


    class Meta:
        model = NodeComment

models.py

from django_comments.models import Comment, CommentManager

class NodeComment(Comment):
    title = models.TextField(_('Title'), blank=True)
    parent = models.ForeignKey('self', null=True, blank=True, default=None, related_name='children', verbose_name=_('Parent'))
    objects = CommentManager()

Anyway, thanks again for the package, you can close the issue.
