How can I implement asynchronous authentication in Django REST framework?

To implement asynchronous authentication in Django REST, you can use Django Channels along with Django REST Framework. This allows you to handle requests asynchronously.

What libraries do I need to install for this?

You will need to install djangorestframework, channels, and channels-redis for handling WebSocket connections.

Can you provide a code example for the authentication view?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from rest_framework import permissions
from rest_framework_simplejwt.views import TokenObtainPairView

class AsyncTokenObtainPairView(TokenObtainPairView):
    permission_classes = [permissions.AllowAny]

    async def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        return await super().post(request, *args, **kwargs)

How do I configure the routing for this view?

You can configure the routing in your urls.py like this:

from django.urls import path
from .views import AsyncTokenObtainPairView

urlpatterns = [
    path('api/token/', AsyncTokenObtainPairView.as_view(), name='token_obtain_pair'),
]
