How do I get the request.user.id in serializer method field?

Here is my serializer method field:

def get_is_user_to_user(self, obj):
    return obj.to_user == self.context.get('request').user.id

I want the method to return a boolean value of True if obj.to_user which is a field in the corresponding model equals the request.user.id. The method field at the moment always returns False even when it should be returning True.

How do I check if obj.to_user is equal to the request.user.id from the serializer method field?

You can define a method i user model then use at as a field

E.g.:

class User(AbstractUser):
    def chechsomething(self):
        if something :
            return True
        return False

I used below Sample View

class CurrentUserView(APIView):
    def get(self, request):
        serializer = UserSerializer(request.user)
        return Response({"user": serializer.data})

def get_is_user_to_user(self, obj):
    return obj.to_user == self.context.get('request').user.id

I think your FK obj.to_user is a User instance, you can not compare with self.context.get('request').user.id.

Your code should:

def get_is_user_to_user(self, obj):
    return obj.to_user.id == self.context.get('request').user.id

Or:

def get_is_user_to_user(self, obj):
    return obj.to_user == self.context.get('request').user # Make sure you did not override request.user before.
