Let’s say you have an app with the following views.py, you will need to include the following syntax in your docstrings:

class SomeView(APIView):
    """
    URL: /some-view/
    """

    def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        """
        ```
        {
            "data": "Hello, world!"
        }
        ```
        """
        pass

And then you run python manage.py genmockserver, you will get an index.js generated in your current directory
