How do I implement JWT authentication in Django and Flask?

To implement JWT authentication, you need to set up a few libraries in both Django and Flask. In Django, you can use the 'djangorestframework-simplejwt' package, and in Flask, you can use 'Flask-JWT-Extended'. Would you like a step-by-step guide?

Yes, please provide a step-by-step guide for both frameworks.

For Django, first install the package using pip. Then, add it to your INSTALLED_APPS. Create a view for token generation and configure your settings. For Flask, install Flask-JWT-Extended, set up your app, and create routes for login and token management. Would you like code examples?

Yes, code examples would be great!

Sure! In Django, your token view might look like this:

from rest_framework_simplejwt.views import TokenObtainPairView

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

And in Flask:

from flask_jwt_extended import JWTManager, create_access_token

@app.route('/login', methods=['POST'])
def login():
    # authenticate user
    access_token = create_access_token(identity=user.id)
    return jsonify(access_token=access_token)
