Quickstart

To get started, you'll need to follow these steps:

class Book(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    author = models.ForeignKey("Author", on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name="books")


class Author(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=255)

# books/views.py
import beam

class BookViewSet(beam.ViewSet):
    model = Book
    fields = ['title', 'author']

class AuthorViewSet(beam.ViewSet):
    model = Author
    fields = ['title']

# urls.py
from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [
    path('books/', include(BookViewSet().get_urls())),
