How can I implement authentication using Django REST Framework?

You can implement authentication in Django REST Framework using various methods like Token Authentication, Session Authentication, or JWT. Which one are you interested in?

I'm interested in using JWT for authentication. How do I set that up?

To set up JWT authentication, you need to install the djangorestframework-simplejwt package. Then, add it to your INSTALLED_APPS and configure your settings. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example.

Sure! First, install the package with pip install djangorestframework-simplejwt. Then, in your settings.py, add:

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
        'rest_framework_simplejwt.authentication.JWTAuthentication',
    ),
}

Next, create views for obtaining and refreshing tokens. Would you like to see those as well?
