Creates a model serializer class on the fly, just taking the model (class) as its argument.
My use case: When importing data from spreadsheets, the DRF serializers are an easy way to create model instances from a dictionary. This function saves me from creating a custom serializer each time I add a new importer.
Using __all__
is dangerous ;-)
