How can I test authentication in Django REST with async support?

You can use Django's built-in test framework along with the httpx library for async requests. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example for testing async authentication.

Here's a simple example:

import httpx
from django.urls import reverse
from rest_framework import status
from rest_framework.test import AsyncAPIClient

async def test_authentication():
    client = AsyncAPIClient()
    response = await client.post(reverse('token_obtain_pair'), data={'username': 'user', 'password': 'pass'})
    assert response.status_code == status.HTTP_200_OK

This tests the token authentication endpoint asynchronously.

What if I want to test a protected view?

You can include the token in the headers of your request to access protected views. Would you like to see how?
