Description

This is an JWT authentication plugin for Django REST Framework. It uses simplejwt to provide the basic url routes. Also it makes use of custom CustomTokenObtainPairSerializer in order to customize the login response and CustomTokenObtainPairView to override the default TokenObtainPairView of simplejwt

Available URL routes are:

• auth/login - used to obtain the token and refresh token values together with other custom fields. - refer to simplejwt docs for more information
• auth/token/refresh - used to refresh to refresh the token. - refer to simplejwt docs for more information
• auth/users/register - used to create a new user.
