Return some attributes only in detail view in django-tastypie

Question

I have an attribute I want to expose in my API. Calculating this attribute is costly, so I want to make this available only in the detail view (aka /api/foo/1/) and not list view(aka /api/foo/).

How can I do this with tastypie?

Answer 1

You can do this with the "use_in" resource field attribute, which has the options of "all", "list" and "detail".
