DRF create user in nested serializer

Hello all i am trying to create an user in via API with nested serializers in django rest framework and i am having some issues:

Here is my code:

class AffiliateRegisterSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):

class Meta:
    model = Affiliate
    fields = ('phone','address','state','city','ZIP','country','company','web_name','web_url','web_desc','payee_name','monthly_visits',)

and my second serializer:

class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):

    '''
        Registering a new user with Affiliate Profile
    '''

    affiliate = AffiliateRegisterSerializer(required=False)

    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ('username','first_name','last_name','email','password','affiliate',)
        write_only_fields = ('password',)
        read_only_fields = ('id','affiliate',)

    def create(self, validated_data):
        affiliate_data = validated_data.pop('affiliate')
        user = User.objects.create_user(**validated_data)
        Affiliate.objects.create(user=user, **affiliate_data)
        return user

and this is my view:

class AffiliateSignUp(generics.CreateAPIView):
    '''
        API endpoint for Affiliate Users registration
    '''

    queryset = User.objects.all()
    serializer_class = UserSerializer
    permission_classes = [permissions.AllowAny]

    @method_decorator(ensure_csrf_cookie)
    @method_decorator(csrf_protect)
    def create(self, request):
            serializer = UserSerializer(data=request.data)

            if serializer.is_valid():
                    serializer.save()
                    return JsonResponse(serializer.data, status=201)
            return JsonResponse(serializer.errors, status=400)

How can i send an POST request via AngularJS to create the user and the profile instantly?

I am trying to POST a nested object via AngularJs but it says:

affiliate: ["This field is required."]

If i go directly from the backend via url: /api/affilaite it registers the user very good, but the only problem here which i am strugling is,

How to send the POST request with a nested object in javascript.

and here is my javascript code:

data:$httpParamSerializerJQLike({
                'first_name':$scope.userData['first_name'],
                'last_name':$scope.userData['last_name'],
                'username':$scope.userData['username'],
                'password':$scope.userData['password'],
                'email':$scope.userData['email'],
                affiliate:{
                'phone':$scope.userData['phone'],
                'address':$scope.userData['address'],
                'state':$scope.userData['state'],
                'city':$scope.userData['city'],
                'ZIP':$scope.userData['ZIP'],
                'country':$scope.userData['country'],
                'company':$scope.userData['company'],
                'web_url':$scope.userData['webUrl'],
                'web_name':$scope.userData['webName'],
                'web_desc':$scope.userData['webDesc'],
                //'web_category':$scope.userData ['webCategory'],
                'payee_name':$scope.userData['payeeName'],
                'monthly_visits':$scope.userData['monthly_visits']
                }
              }

SOLVED

The problem was that i was sending an QueryDict application/x-www-form-urlencoded

so from the front-end i changed the

method:'POST',
            url:'/api/URL/',
            headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
            dataType: 'json',

and i send a nested object.

So this does create a user with a user profile instantly.

thank you all for the support

You have affiliate as read only in the serializer Meta: read_only_fields = ('id','affiliate',).

read_only

Read-only fields are included in the API output, but should not be included in the input during create or update operations. Any 'read_only' fields that are incorrectly included in the serializer input will be ignored.

Set this to True to ensure that the field is used when serializing a representation, but is not used when creating or updating an instance during deserialization.

Defaults to False
