from .models import ModelName
from autogenerated_api.serializers import DeadlySerializerFactory
ModelNameDeadlySerializer = DeadlySerializerFactory(modelName)
- DeadlySerializerFactory `Optional Paramaters`
	- nest = ["field_1","field_2"] 
	- nested_fields = {"field_name_in_releation" : ["related_model_field_1","related_model_field_2"]}
	- exclude = ["field_1","field_2"] : fields that you want to exclude	

ModelNameDeadlySerializer = DeadlySerializerFactory(modelName,nest,nested_fields,exclude)	

views.py

Create a new file api_urls.py in main project folder.

Main project folder Architecture

- main_proj_name
	- __init__.py
	- settings.py
	- urls.py
	- wsgi.py
	- api_urls.py

Add below codes in api_urls.py file.

import app_name.views
from django.urls import path, re_path , include

from autogenerated_api import autogenerated_urls
urlpatterns = autogenerated_urls.urlpatterns

urlpatterns += []

Adding to URLs

Add the Below urls.py

from django.urls import path, re_path , include

urlpatterns = [
    re_path(r'^api/', include('main_proj_name.api_urls' , 'main_proj_name'), namespace='api'),),

Finally, you will get autogenerated seraializers and end points.

- Autogenerated End Points
	- `/api/model_name_in_lower/` :  list out all the model_instance
	- `/api/model_name_in_lower/<instance_id>` : you will get detail of instance of given id  

Why use autogenerated_api?

Through autogenerated_api module , you can directly create serializers coresponding to each model and can also access the all fields value of model which are in relation (m2m or foreignkey relationship).

To get the list of model instance , You have to write an api end points , like ListAPiView and for getting the detail of model instance, have to implement DetailAPIView or RetrieveApiView end points.

Now , You don't have to create these APi-end points and get worry about the serailizers . This module will take care. Just , follow the steps that i mentioned above.

Coming

- Module with more functionality and more autogenerated end points.
