How can I integrate Django REST framework with async authentication in my frontend?

To integrate Django REST with async authentication, you can use libraries like Django Channels for WebSocket support and JWT for token-based authentication.

What are the steps to set up JWT authentication in Django?

First, install the Django REST framework and the djangorestframework-simplejwt package. Then, configure your settings.py to include the JWT authentication classes.

Can you show me an example of a frontend implementation using React?

Sure! You can use the axios library to make API calls. Here's a simple example:

import axios from 'axios';

const login = async (credentials) => {
  const response = await axios.post('/api/token/', credentials);
  localStorage.setItem('token', response.data.access);
};

What about handling token expiration?

You can set up an interceptor in axios to check for token expiration and refresh it using a refresh token if needed.
