 A viewset helper was designed to allow for greater flexibility and it is automatically available when subclassing
-`views.ModelViewSet`
-```
- # When MyViewSet is called with ?include=author it will dynamically prefetch author and author.bio
- class MyViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
+`rest_framework_json_api.views.ModelViewSet`:
+```python
+from rest_framework_json_api import views
+
+# When MyViewSet is called with ?include=author it will dynamically prefetch author and author.bio
+class MyViewSet(views.ModelViewSet):
     queryset = Book.objects.all()
     prefetch_for_includes = {

-    'author': ['author', 'author__bio']

+An additional convenience DJA class exists for read-only views, just as it does in DRF.
+```python
+from rest_framework_json_api import views
+
+class MyReadOnlyViewSet(views.ReadOnlyModelViewSet):
+    # ...
 ```
 
 The special keyword `__all__` can be used to specify a prefetch which should be done regardless of the include, similar to making the prefetch yourself on the QuerySet.
