Authenticate With Djoser

REST implementation of Django authentication system. djoser library provides a set of Django Rest Framework views to handle basic actions such as registration, login, logout, password reset and account activation. It works with custom user model.

Requirements:

Project Setup:

create a virtual env.

python -m venv env

Activate
./env/Scripts/activate # for windows

source env/bin/activate # linux user

Here i am using poetry you can use pip or pienv:
poetry Setup:

    poetry init
    poetry add django djangorestframework djoser djangorestframework_simplejwt django-cors-headers
    poetry add drf-yasg # for api docs

Creating project and apps:

    django-admin startproject core
    python manage.py startapp accounts

Configuring settings.py:

# Installed Apps

DJANGO_APPS = [
"django.contrib.admin",
"django.contrib.auth",
"django.contrib.contenttypes",
"django.contrib.sessions",
"django.contrib.messages",
"django.contrib.staticfiles",
]

PROJECT_APPS = ["accounts"]

THIRD_PARTY_APPS = [
"rest_framework",
"drf_yasg",
"djoser",
"corsheaders",
"rest_framework_simplejwt",
"rest_framework_simplejwt.token_blacklist",
]

INSTALLED_APPS = DJANGO_APPS + PROJECT_APPS + THIRD_PARTY_APPS

MIDDLEWARE = [
"django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware",
"django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware",
"corsheaders.middleware.CorsMiddleware", # middleware for cors-headers
"django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware",
"django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware",
"django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware",
"django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware",
"django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware",
]

let’s create a customuser model:

accounts/models.py

from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import (
    AbstractBaseUser,
    PermissionsMixin,
    BaseUserManager,
)


class CustomUserManager(BaseUserManager):
    def create_user(self, email, username, password=None, **extra_fields):
        if not email:
            raise ValueError("User must have an email")
        email = self.normalize_email(email)
        user = self.model(email=email, username=username, **extra_fields)
        user.set_password(password)
        user.save(using=self._db)
        return user

    def create_superuser(self, username, email, password=None, **extra_fields):
        user = self.create_user(username, email, password=password, **extra_fields)
        user.is_active = True
        user.is_staff = True
        user.is_admin = True
        user.save(using=self._db)
        return user


class CustomUser(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):
    email = models.EmailField(max_length=255, unique=True)
    username = models.CharField(max_length=255, unique=True)
    first_name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    last_name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True)
    is_staff = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    is_admin = models.BooleanField(default=False)

    objects = CustomUserManager()

    USERNAME_FIELD = "email"
    REQUIRED_FIELDS = ["username", "first_name", "last_name"]

    def get_full_name(self):
        return f"{self.first_name} - {self.last_name}"

    def get_short_name(self):
        return self.username

    def has_perm(self, perm, obj=None):
        return True

    def has_module_perms(self, app_label):
        return True

    def __str__(self):
        return self.email

Customizing Serializers

accounts/serializers.py

from djoser.serializers import UserCreateSerializer
from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model

User = get_user_model()


class UserCreateSerializer(UserCreateSerializer):
    class Meta(UserCreateSerializer.Meta):
        model = User
        fields = ("id", "email", "username", "first_name", "last_name", "password")

Email setup: settings.py

# EMAIL CONFIG
EMAIL_BACKEND = "django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend"
EMAIL_HOST = "localhost"
EMAIL_PORT = "1025"
EMAIL_HOST_USER = ""
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = ""

Djoser JWT and CORS HEADERS: settings.py

[Note: you won’t need cors header unless you use any frontend framework]

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    "DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES": ["rest_framework.permissions.IsAuthenticated"],
    "DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES": (
        "rest_framework_simplejwt.authentication.JWTAuthentication",

    },
}

# CORS HEADERS
CORS_ORIGIN_ALLOW_ALL = True
CORS_ALLOW_CREDENTIALS = True

URL CONFIG:

  • accounts/urls.py
from django.urls import path


urlpatterns = []

  • main/urls.py
#main/urls.py

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path
from django.urls.conf import include, re_path

    path("api/v1/", include("djoser.urls")),
    path("api/v1/", include("djoser.urls.jwt")),
    
]

Here we:

  1. include some url paths that djoser provides us.
  2. and config for API docs
    http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/v1/docs/
    Alt Text
    Api docs

here are some urls:

Requires two parameters:
{
“uid” :“some uid”,
“token”: “some token”
}
postman
Similarly you can work with below apis.

we can work with social-auth too but we require extra configs.
here is the github link where i have work with social auth

overall we are done. 😌😌😌😌
If you are stuck 👇👇👇.
