Access request user in schema resolve function

I have likes model between users, meaning that I can like other’s profile. I am looking forward to include likes count in schema, when accessing others profile, so that I can pass data to frontend.

class DetailedProfileSchema(Schema):
    id: uuid.UUID
    .....
    likes_count: int


    def resolve_likes_count(self, obj) -> int:
        print("1")
        request_profile: Profile = Profile.objects.get(id=self.request.user.id) <<<<< I need to access request user profile, how can I do it?
        print("2")
        return request_profile.likes.filter(target_profile__id=obj.id).count()

resolve function does not raise any errors, it reaches print(1) but not print(2), the only log I get is:

pydantic.error_wrappers.ValidationError: 1 validation errors for NinjaResponseSchema
E   response -> likes_count
E     field required (type=value_error.missing)

Pydantic v2 will add some means to have validation context, assuming django-ninja will adopt v2 maybe this will be relevant for including request/user context. https://pydantic-docs.helpmanual.io/blog/pydantic-v2/#validation-context

Hi @vitalik I’m using this method of transferring out the user to the schema quite a lot in my company project. It works well but it feels a bit hacky sometimes when I have a list of objects and nested objects/schemas (essentially for my use of django-guardian for objects permissions).

Accessing the user (or request) seems to be something needed given the previous issues on this subject : #495 #484 #422

It would be great to have a nicer way of dealing with this
