How can I fetch more than one attribute from a serializer - python-3.x

Question

My models have multiple attributes, all of which are being serialized.
According to the user's request, I want my API to return only limited information
This is my model's code
from django.db import models
class User(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
age = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField()
description = models.CharField(max_length=200)
def __str__(self) -> str:
return self.name
This is my Serializer's code
from rest_framework import serializers
from .models import User
class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = User
fields = "__all__"
This is my View's code
from rest_framework.decorators import api_view
from rest_framework.response import Response
from .models import User
from .serializers import UserSerializer
from rest_framework import serializers
from rest_framework import status
from django.http import JsonResponse
#api_view(['GET'])
def viewUsers(request):
users = User.objects.all()
serializer = UserSerializer(users, many=True)
return JsonResponse({'id': serializer.data['id'], 'name': serializer.data['name']})
The code below works if I want to return a single attribute/field
return JsonResponse(serializer.data['id'])
but when I try to fetch more than one attribute by the dictionary method, it throws this error
list indices must be integers or slices, not str

Answer 1

many=True passed to UserSerializer indicates that serializer.data will contain a list of dicts where each particular dict will be a result of serializing User instance to expected dict
Taking into account serializer.data is a list then if you try to execute serializer.data['id'] it raises
list indices must be integers or slices, not str
You may want to update the return statement to
return JsonResponse([{'id': item['id'] for item in serializer.data}])
or specify that you expect only id field to be returned by the serializer
class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ("id",)
and then in the view
return JsonResponse(serializer.data)
