Fixing a Django drf-yasg "serializer_class required" AssertionError

Sometimes you have an API view (ie. GenericAPIView) class without a serializer. This causes the drf-yasg generator to throw an AssertionError exception saying class should either include a 'serializer_class' attribute, or override the 'get_serializer_class()' method.

You can fix this by adding the following to the view class:

 def get_serializer(self, *args, **kwargs):  
     pass  
 def get_serializer_class(self):  
     pass  

This should pass the drf-yasg serializer check.
