	- filters.py
	- tests.py
	- views.py

serilizers.py

from .models import ModelName
from autogenerated_api.serializers import DeadlySerializerFactory
ModelNameDeadlySerializer = DeadlySerializerFactory(modelName)

filters.py

from .models import ModelName
from autogenerated_api.autogeneration import make_model_filter
ModelNameFilter = make_model_filter(ModelName)

views.py

import app_name.models
import app_name.serializers
import app_name.filters
from autogenerated_api.autogeneration import make_all_viewsets

make_all_viewsets(__name__)

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.

from django.conf.urls import url,include
import app_name.views

from autogenerated_api import autogenerated_urls
urlpatterns = autogenerated_urls.urlpatterns

urlpatterns += []

Adding to URLs

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 use autogenerated serializers and can also access the fields value of model which are in relation (m2m or foreignkey relationship).

To get the list of model instance , we 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 of the rest.

Coming
