Summary
This PR introduces support for optional decimal rounding in the
DecimalField
serializer field. By adding arounding
parameter, developers can now control how decimal values are quantized during serialization — such as rounding up, down, or to the nearest value.Motivation
Controlling decimal precision is crucial in real-world APIs that handle:
While
DecimalField
enforces digit and decimal precision, it lacked direct control over the rounding mode. This enhancement improves the flexibility and precision of API responses for such use cases.What's Changed
