Returning data on POST in django-tastypie

django, post, tastypie

Solution

Can't believe the answer was so easy.

http://django-tastypie.readthedocs.org/en/latest/resources.html#always-return-data

Just add `always_return_data = True` to your `Meta`.

Problem

I consider it a standard that an object-creating function returns the newly created object. So, any idea how do you do that in tastypie? When I send the POST request, the object is created, I get nothing in response, though. What I would like is to receive the JSON form of the newly created object (or at least the PK). I tried overriding the `dehydrate` method, but it seems that it's not even called when it comes to POST. Any ideas?
