How do I implement authentication in Django REST Framework?
You can implement authentication in Django REST Framework using various methods like Token Authentication, Session Authentication, or OAuth2. Which one are you interested in?
I'm interested in Token Authentication. How do I set that up?
To set up Token Authentication, first, install the Django REST Framework and add 'rest_framework.authtoken' to your INSTALLED_APPS. Then, run python manage.py migrate
to create the necessary database tables.
What do I do after that?
Next, you need to add the authentication classes to your settings. In your settings.py, add DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES
with TokenAuthentication
. Finally, create a view to obtain the token.
Can you show me an example of the view?
Sure! You can use the obtain_auth_token
view from rest_framework.authtoken.views
. Just include it in your URLs like this: path('api-token-auth/', obtain_auth_token)
. This will allow users to get their token by sending a POST request with their username and password.
