simple JWT handling for django REST Framework

drf-jwt

JSON Web Token plugin for Django REST Framework, the JWT encoded in base64 is put in the headers:

Authorization: Bearer <token>

install:

pip install django-rest-jwt

let JWT do the authentification:

add 'drf_jwt.authentication.JSONWebTokenAuthentication' in authentication classes:

'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': [
    'drf_jwt.authentication.JSONWebTokenAuthentication',
]

make endpoints to login and get the JWT:

from drf_jwt.controllers import Auth

urlpatterns = [
    path('api/login', Auth.as_view()),
]

suport GET and POST

POST:

{ login, password }

login will be the username of the authenticate function of django

GET:

return a JWT token if you are authenticate

so, one could do a Basic Authentication to the GET endpoints to receve a JWT
