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?

Usually , people have to create a serializers for each and every models of an app. In most of the cases , while creating a mdelserializer we have to write same amount of code.

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

Now , we don't have to create these APi-end points and get worry about the serailizers . This module will take care of the rest.

Coming
