About Context-aware Serializer Fields
When using Django REST Framework, you can conditionally remove fields from serializers in the to_representation() method, for example:
# accounts/serializers.py
from rest_framework import serializers
from .models import User
class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ["first_name", "last_name", "email"]
def to_representation(self, instance):
values = super().to_representation(instance=instance)
if not self.context["request"].user.is_staff:
values.pop("email")
return values
