✅

You can get data from request object directly:

class PersonSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):

    def validate_date_of_birth(self, value):
       if self.context['request'].data.get('use_additional_fields') and not value:
          raise serializers.ValidationError(_('Date of birth is required'))
       return value

    class Meta:
        model = Person
        exclude = ('phone', 'date_of_birth')

Note if you initiate serializer instance manually in your view, you should pass request to the serializer’s context:

serializer = BookingSerializer(data=data, context={'request': request})
