Most idiomatic method to convert an object URL to Object

[Wanderley S]

I'm not quite sure if I got it right, but I believe that the correct is to
"create" the object first.
Doesn't make to much sense handle an object that is not yet persisted into
the database.
If you want the data, you could get it with:

data_to_be_saved = self.request.data

or, even better:

data_to_be_saved = serializer.validated_data

Take a look at this:
https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/issues/2207

Also, take a look here for the CreateModelMixin:
http://www.cdrf.co/3.7/rest_framework.viewsets/ModelViewSet.html

Hope it helps, somehow.

Regards!

I'm trying to do some custom activities in a ModelViewSet
'perform_create', and I was wondering what the best way to convert
request.data URLs into objects.
for example
{
"Example": "http://localhost:8000/rest/example/30/",
}
How can I convert the string there into an object without going into the
serializer?
queryset = Connection.objects.all()
serializer_class = ConnectionSerializer
* # how do I get the specific example object here from the URL
passed in*
example_object.do_something()
instance = serializer.save()
