Nested serializers

[creynold]

Is there currently a way to utilize nested serializers within drf-cached-instances? When I try to use cachedviewsetmixin on my viewset I get the following error:

Got AttributeError when attempting to get a value for field `type` on serializer `NestedSerializer`.
The serializer field might be named incorrectly and not match any attribute or key on the 
`PkOnlyModel`   instance.
Original exception text was: 'PkOnlyModel' object has no attribute 'type'.

I don't used nested serializers myself, but something like this would work to turn a PkOnlyModel into a CachedModel:

cached_model = CachedQueryset(Cache(), OrigModel.objects.all()).get(pk=pk_only_model.pk)

Could you post the full traceback? There may be a DRF method that cachedviewsetmixin should override to make this happen without the explicit ugliness.

I'll try your suggestion, in the meantime here's the full traceback:
