Stop Writing CRUD Boilerplate: Introducing Django Ninja AIO CRUD

TL;DR: I built a framework that turns Django models into complete async REST APIs with filtering, pagination, auth, and relationship support—in ~10 lines of code.

The Boilerplate Problem

If you've built Django REST APIs, you know the drill:

1. Define your model
2. Create serializer classes (input, output, update)
3. Write view functions or ViewSets
4. Add filtering logic
5. Configure pagination
6. Set up authentication
7. Handle M2M relationships
8. Repeat for every model

For a simple Book model with CRUD operations, you're looking at 150-200 lines of mostly boilerplate code.

What if it could be 10 lines?

That's the question that led me to build Django Ninja AIO CRUD.

• Real-world use case examples]

Conclusion

Django Ninja AIO CRUD is my attempt to solve the CRUD boilerplate problem while maintaining Django's philosophy of being explicit and flexible.

It's not trying to be a magic framework that handles everything. It's focused on one thing: eliminating repetitive CRUD patterns while staying out of your way for custom logic.
