How do I implement user authentication in Django using serializers?

To implement user authentication in Django using serializers, you can use Django REST Framework's serializers to handle user data. First, create a serializer for your user model.

Can you show me an example of a user serializer?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from rest_framework import serializers
from django.contrib.auth.models import User

class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ['id', 'username', 'email']

How do I validate the user credentials?

You can create a custom serializer for login that validates the username and password. Use Django's built-in authentication methods.

What about token-based authentication?

For token-based authentication, you can use Django REST Framework's token authentication. Install the package and configure it in your settings.
