How do you use it, I could not see an example?

Sorry, I didn't get you, this gist showed how view level inheritance used in rest api

https://medium.com/djangotube/django-rest-api-curd-example-61c3a29b22ed

Sorry, from my side. I should have explained it better. I could not find the above code (or import of View) in your example here? The imports are missing, and that's what confuses me. That's why I ask how do you apply it in your URLs or viewset.py? And I liked your medium article, that's why I started to look into your Github repositories.

Oh sorry, please change the branch in GitHub for every example I created separate branch

I am really sorry, somehow it seems that I am in infantile, but I don't see the branch which includes the above code or how to apply it? I know about the problem, and like to avoid it. That why I am so keen to see how you included it.
