Make Tastypie Respect blank=False
More Tastypie pain, documented in several issues. Tastypie's blank attribute simply doesn't work. Add this to your Resource as a workaround:
class MyResource(ModelResource):
# Workaround for this issue:
# https://github.com/toastdriven/django-tastypie/issues/518
def hydrate(self, bundle):
for field_name, field_obj in self.fields.items():
if field_name == 'resource_uri':
continue
if not field_obj.blank and not bundle.data.has_key(field_name):
raise ApiFieldError("The '%s' field has no data and doesn't allow a default or null value." % field_name)
return bundle
