Removing the shortcut takes away an unneccessary layer of abstraction, and makes your codebase more explict without any significant extra complexity. +Doing so will mean that there are cases of API code where you'll now need to include a serializer class where you previously were just using the `.model` shortcut. However we firmly believe that it is the right trade-off to make. + +Removing the shortcut takes away an unneccessary layer of abstraction, and makes your codebase more explicit without any significant extra complexity. It also results in better consistency, as there's now only one way to set the serializer class and queryset attributes for the view, instead of two. The `DEFAULT_MODEL_SERIALIZER_CLASS` API setting is now also deprecated. |
