How do I implement JWT authentication in a Django API with a React frontend?
To implement JWT authentication, you'll need to set up Django REST Framework with the djangorestframework-simplejwt package. First, install it using pip.
What are the steps to configure the Django settings for JWT?
In your Django settings, add 'rest_framework_simplejwt.authentication.JWTAuthentication' to the DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES. Also, configure the REST framework to use JWT.
How do I create a login endpoint in Django?
You can create a login endpoint by using the TokenObtainPairView from simplejwt. Define a URL pattern for it in your urls.py.
What about the React side? How do I handle the JWT?
In your React app, use axios to send a POST request to the login endpoint. Store the received JWT in local storage for subsequent requests.
