In this course, you will learn to use a package called Simple JWT to help implement JWT authentication in your Django RESTful projects.

In the beginning, you will learn how to create custom users in Django using Django RESTful. Next, you will learn to register users using JWT and send them account verification emails. After that, you will learn how to make custom token claims when logging in users, and also how to refresh the tokens after expiry. You will then learn how to reset passwords and understand how password reset emails work. You will learn to organize your users in Django RESTful, log them out, and also black-list their JWT tokens. You will finish by learning how to manage and test your endpoints by documenting and testing them.

After the completion of this course, you will be able to create custom users in Django RESTful framework, authenticate them using Simple JWT, programmatically send account verification and password reset emails.

Custom User Authentication with Simple JWT in Django RESTful


This lesson focuses on implementing the registration view.

# Create the user registration view
We can now create a view for registering users in our `views.py`. The view class extends the `GenericAPIView` in the class-based view with a `post` method. This view class handles all post requests that will be coming in from the user registration endpoint. It is also in the middle of all the registration components, such as the registration endpoint, registration serializer, and the model.

When a request comes in from the endpoint:
* The registration view passes the user object to the registration serializer.
* The serializer validates and serializes the user object and passes it back to the registration view.
* The registration view saves the serialized user object in the database.
* The registration view retrieves the user instance from the database and deserializes it through the registration serializer.
* The deserialized user object is passed to the registration endpoint.
