## FAQ

### Model instance is inferred as `Any` instead of my `Model` class

When subclassing `ModelSerializer`, add a [type argument](https://peps.python.org/pep-0484/#generics) to type-hint the related model class, for example:

```python
class MyModelSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer[MyModel]):
class Meta:
model = MyModel
fields = ("id", "example")
```

Which means that methods where the model is being passed around will know the actual type of the model instead of being `Any`. The `instance` attribute on the above serializer will be `Union[MyModel, typing.Sequence[MyModel], None]`.
