PUT on foreign key record

[NP]

Hello,

I have following 2 models:


class State(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(blank=False, null=False, max_length=100)
description = models.TextField(null=True)
class Meta:
db_table = 'state'




def __str__(self):
return self.name


class Suite(models.model):
user = models.CharField(blank=False, null=False, max_length=100)
state = models.ForeignKey(State, related_name='state', on_delete=models.
PROTECT)

class Meta:
db_table = 'suite'


This one works:

~ curl -d '{"user":"nsupe","state":1}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -XPUT
http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/suites/3/



But I would like to send the payload as follows:


~ curl -d '{"user":"nsupe","state":{"id":1,"name":"Quar","description":"state
desc"}}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -XPUT http:
//127.0.0.1:8000/api/suites/3/




If no changes in `state` it should ignore it or if changes in state, it
should get updated along with the changes in suite record.

I tried


class SuitesSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
state = QuarantinedStatesSerializer()


class Meta:
model = QuarantinedSuites
fields = ('id', 'user', 'state')


def update(self, instance, validated_data):
state = validated_data.pop('state')
print (state)
instance.state_id = state['id']
return instance
or
def update(self, instance, validated_data):
state = validated_data.pop('state')
print (state)
instance.description = state['description']
instance.name = state['name']
return instance

First update fails that there is no state id. state here don't have id even
though I am passing it.

For second it is gives name already exists and fails to update

Am I missing something here?
