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.
