How to create a CRUD REST API for all Django models with DRF?

How would one go about taking all models from all applications in django and then expose all of them under a systematic CRUD endpoint such as api/models/**** without writing DRF Views for each model individually? In other words, how does one create a generic CRUD API for all models of a django server to quickly modify data in the database via REST?



So if we have this application file structure



application/

  /auth

    /models

      /token.py

      /other_model.py

  /shop

 /profile

 /...


It would result in the following CRUD endpoints



domain.com/api/models/auth/token

domain.com/api/models/auth/other_model

domain.com/api/models/shop/card

...


Further, these generic endpoints could allow basic filtering (by id, define return fields with a ?fields=... parameter etc.



I know about Eve but we are committed to django/DRF and we want to cut away a lot of redundant model-serializer-view verticals that offer little value for lots of code.

          Can a sorcerer learn a 5th-level spell early by creating spell slots using the Font of Magic feature?

          Image
          28 6 $begingroup$ Per the Font of Magic feature, sorcerer can use Flexible Casting to create 5th-level spell slots at level 7, even though they are not typically available until level 9. You can transform unexpended sorcery points into one spell slot as a bonus action on your turn. The Creating Spell Slots table shows the cost of creating a spell slot of [5th level is 7] If such a sorcerer levels up while still having this 5th-level spell slot, can they choose a 5th-level spell as the spell they gain upon levelling up? The Spellcasting feature states: Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the sorcerer spells you know and replace it with another spell from the sorcerer spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

          mat-slide-toggle shouldn't change it's state when I click cancel in confirmation window

          Image
          1 When I checked the slide toggle it should work as expected. But when I try to uncheck it there is a confirmation window asking if you are sure. When I click cancel in that confirmation window, still the toggle changes to unchecked, which shouldn't happen. It should stay in the same state. Here is my Html and TS Code // html <mat-slide-toggle (change)="change($event)" [checked]="isChecked()" > To-pay </mat-slide-toggle> TS code: // ts change(e) { if(this.checked) { if(confirm("Are you sure")) { console.log("toggle") } else { e.stopPropagation(); console.log("toggle should not change if I click the cancel button") }
