ModelSerializerFactory?

[litewaitt]

With the advent of DRF 3 (unless I am missing something), all classes that inherit from ModelSerializer will not work if I was leaning on the "model" attribute in the class to do the work of setting the query_set and serializer_class for me.

My thought is to replace the line:

model = MyModel

with:

query_set = MyModel.objects.all()

serializer_class = ModelSerializerFactory(MyModel)

The goal here is to remove the need to create the boilerplate serializers for the models and just generate them dynamically. Is that a workable solution, or is there a better way?

Not really sure how to create a ModelSerializer dynamically, since I am new to Python, but it seems to be a solution.

You could, yes. Here's how `ModelSerializerFactory` would look if you wanted to do that:

def ModelSerializerFactory(model_class):

    class DynamicSerializer(ModelSerializer):

        class Meta:

            model = model_class

    return DynamicSerializer

Tom,

Thanks that worked perfectly.
