Django-REST-Framework：ForeignKey实例未传递到validated_data

Question

I'm trying to create an instance overriding create method and passing the ForeignKey instance in the data, but that field is not included in validated_data passed to create method. How can I pass that to create ??

I have this model.

class UserProfile(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(verbose_name='Name', max_length=50)
    email = models.EmailField(verbose_name='Email')
    address = models.TextField(verbose_name='Address', null=True, blank=True)
    user = models.OneToOneField(User, verbose_name='User', on_delete=models.CASCADE)

And here's my serializer.

class UserProfileSerializer(ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = UserProfile
        fields = '__all__'
        depth = 2

    def create(self, validated_data):
        print(validated_data)
        return UserProfile.objects.create(**validated_data)

Here's my view.

class UserRegisterView(APIView):
    def post(self, request, format=None, *args, **kwargs):
        name = request.data.get('name')
        email = request.data.get('email')
        password = request.data.get('password')
        address = request.data.get('address')

        if name and email and password:
            user = User.objects.create_user(username=email, password=password, email=email)

            request.data['user'] = user
            serializer = UserProfileSerializer(data=request.data)
            if serializer.is_valid():
                user_profile = serializer.save()

Even though I'm passing User object to serializer it's not included in the validated_data . Official doc suggests to create another serializer for User model and use that, but is there any other way without creating that serializer ??

You can pass it as additional argument of save method :

serializer = UserProfileSerializer(data=request.data)
if serializer.is_valid():
    user_profile = serializer.save(user=user)

From the docs:

Any additional keyword arguments will be included in the validated_data argument when .create() or .update() are called.
