django-rest-framework - autogenerate form in browsable API?

Question

Not sure if i\'m using the right vocabulary. In the browsable api that comes for free with django-rest-framework, I was wondering if there was a way to autogenerate a form s

Create a serialiser class that fits the form input fields you want and set it on your APIView like so;

class MyView(APIView):
    serializer_class = MySerializer  # Used for the form in the browsable api

Example of a serializer class based on a model:

from rest_framework import serializers

class MySerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = MyModel
