I am following this tutorial (https://medium.com/@dakota.lillie/django-react-jwt-authentication-5015ee00ef9a) to implement JWT based authentication in Django. However, I keep getting error which I am unable to figure out.
I have followed backwards to see if object being returned is use or not.
Serializer class:
class UserSerializerWithToken(serializers.ModelSerializer):
token = serializers.SerializerMethodField()
password = serializers.CharField(write_only=True)
def get_token(self, obj):
jwt_payload_handler = api_settings.JWT_PAYLOAD_HANDLER
jwt_encode_handler = api_settings.JWT_ENCODE_HANDLER
payload = jwt_payload_handler(obj)
token = jwt_encode_handler(payload)
return token
def create(self, validated_data):
password = validated_data.pop('password', None)
instance = self.Meta.model(**validated_data)
if password is not None:
instance.set_password(password)
instance.save()
return instance
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ('token','username','password')
View for same:
class Users(APIView):
"""
Create new user.
"""
permission_classes = (permissions.AllowAny,)
def post(self, request, format=None):
serializer = UserSerializerWithToken(data=request.data)
if serializer.is_valid():
serializer.save()
return Response(serializer.data, status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED)
return Response(serializer.errors, status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST)
It should return token in JSON format however, error I am getting is:
AttributeError at /api/users/
Invalid API setting: 'JWT_PAYLOAD_HANDLER'
Request Method: POST
Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/users/
Django Version: 2.1.7
Exception Type: AttributeError
Exception Value:
Invalid API setting: 'JWT_PAYLOAD_HANDLER'
Exception Location: $/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/rest_framework/settings.py in __getattr__, line 216

User is created in my database but it throws error for token generation. I am not very expert on this. Thanks !
I change it to from rest_framework_jwt.settings import api_settings
