Dj-Rest-Auth

Drop-in API endpoints for handling authentication securely in Django Rest Framework. Works especially well with SPAs (e.g React, Vue, Angular), and Mobile applications.

Requirements

Quick Setup

Install package

pip install dj-rest-auth

Add dj_rest_auth app to INSTALLED_APPS in your django settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...,
    'rest_framework',
    'rest_framework.authtoken',
    ...,
    'dj_rest_auth'
)

Add URL patterns

urlpatterns = [
    path('dj-rest-auth/', include('dj_rest_auth.urls')),
]

(Optional) Use Http-Only cookies

REST_USE_JWT = True
JWT_AUTH_COOKIE = 'jwt-auth'

Testing

Install required modules with pip install -r dj_rest_auth/tests/requirements.pip

To run the tests within a virtualenv, run python runtests.py from the repository directory.
The easiest way to run test coverage is with coverage,
which runs the tests against all supported Django installs. To run the test coverage
