Building REST API authentication endpoints with dj-rest-auth

This tutorial will teach you how to create REST API endpoints in your Django project for user registration, authentication, and more using the dj-rest-auth package. I'll guide you through the process of installing and setting up dj-rest-auth, and demonstrate how to use its endpoints to handle registration and authentication tasks. Along the way, you'll get to witness token authentication in action and learn how it works.

Thanks for the nice tutorial. As an additional comment, currently, to work with allauth, you must add the allauth middleware as well in the list of your middleware and lastly, define authentication backend to use. If this is not defined, users are not able to log in and not token will be received!

Awesome, never would have attempted to read doc and do it simultaneously as a freebie if you haven't handheld like this. Do more videos on django rest framework packages

Can you show the usage with custom user model ?

The problem I have with django rest authentication tutorials is that, the frontend integration is almost non-existent or too old. But the backend configuration is everywhere.
