|
|||
|
||||
You can let Django serialize your own custom class instances by giving the class
|
||||
a ``deconstruct()`` method. It takes no arguments, and should return a tuple
|
||||
of three things: ``(path, args, kwargs)``. Note this return value is different
|
||||
from the ``deconstruct()`` method :ref:`for custom fields
|
||||
<custom-field-deconstruct-method>` which returns a tuple of four items.
|
||||
of three things ``(path, args, kwargs)``:
|
||||
|
||||
``path`` should be the Python path to the class, with the class name included as the
|
||||
last part (for example, ``myapp.custom_things.MyClass``). If your class is not
|
||||
available at the top level of a module it is not serializable.
|
||||
* ``path`` should be the Python path to the class, with the class name included
|
||||
as the last part (for example, ``myapp.custom_things.MyClass``). If your
|
||||
class is not available at the top level of a module it is not serializable.
|
||||
|
||||
``args`` should be a list of positional arguments to pass to your class'
|
||||
``__init__`` method. Everything in this list should itself be serializable.
|
||||
* ``args`` should be a list of positional arguments to pass to your class'
|
||||
``__init__`` method. Everything in this list should itself be serializable.
|
||||
|
||||
``kwargs`` should be a dict of keyword arguments to pass to your class'
|
||||
``__init__`` method. Every value should itself be serializable.
|

* ``kwargs`` should be a dict of keyword arguments to pass to your class'
|

``__init__`` method. Every value should itself be serializable.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
This return value is different from the ``deconstruct()`` method
|
||||
:ref:`for custom fields <custom-field-deconstruct-method>` which returns a
|
||||
tuple of four items.
|
||||
|
||||
Django will write out the value as an instantiation of your class with the
|
||||
given arguments, similar to the way it writes out references to Django fields.
