Django Expiring Token

Django Expiring Token adds token expiration on token authentication and extends the expiration time on each authenticated request.

Django Expiring Token provides a very lightweight extension to DRF’s existing token authentication. It implements the following functionalities:

Tokens expire after the set time.
On each authenticated request, the expiration time is updated by the set time.

Quick start

Do NOT add “restframework.authtoken” to you INSTALLED_APPS.
Add “django_expiring_token” to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:
```
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'django_expiring_token',
]
```
Include the polls URLconf in your project urls.py like this:
```
path('custom-url/', include('django_expiring_token.urls')),
```

Add the expiration time in settings.py:

EXPIRING_TOKEN_DURATION=timedelta(hours=1)
# Any timedelta setting can be used! If not set, the default value is 1 day

Add the default authentication class in REST_FRAMEWORK settings in settings.py:

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
        ...
        'django_expiring_token.authentication.ExpiringTokenAuthentication',
        ...
    ),
}

Run python manage.py migrate to create package migrations
Start the development server an you are good to go.
