Django Rest Framework serializers as forms and nested relationships

Question

I am trying to use the django rest framework to generate html forms for model creation. Suppose I have a serializer that belongs to a model with a ManyToMany relation.

class SerializerExample(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    mtm = ManyToManySerializer(many=True)

I then, in a django rest view,

class AddModelView(StandardView):
    serializer_class = ModelSerializer
    renderer_classes = [TemplateHTMLRenderer]

    template_name = 'details.html'

    def get(self, request):
        model = Model.objects.get.all()
        serializer = ModelSerializer(model)
        return Response({'serializer': serializer, 'model': model})

And then suppose details.html looks like:

{% load rest_framework %}

<html><body>

    <form method="POST">
        {% csrf_token %}
        {% render_form serializer %}
        <input type="submit" value="Save">
    </form>

    </body></html>

Lists are not currently supported in HTML input. instead of a multiselect or the abiliity to add new instances. What am I doing wrong?

You aren't missing anything. This is work in progress. Either use JSON with nested serializers or don't use nested serializers if you need HTML Forms.
