class CustomerSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):

    class Meta:
        model = Customer

        fields = ("email", "phone_no", "full_name", "landline_no")

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)

        for field in self.fields:
            self.fields[field].required = True
            self.fields[field].allow_blank = False

Answer 1

You can add the extra args in Meta class for a ModelSerializer, like this:

class Meta:
    model = Customer

    fields = ("email", "phone_no", "full_name", "landline_no")
    extra_kwargs = {'email': {'required': True, 'allow_blank': False}}

If you need this for all the fields, then you should reconsider your fields inside the Customer model. You can add blank=False and/or null=False. Rest framework takes that information into consideration when creating a ModelSerializer
