如何在 django rest 框架中使用 jwt 身份验证获取用户详细信息？

Question

I am trying to get the user details using JWT token authentication. I am able to get them using BasicAuthentication and JsonWebToken authentication. I am trying to get the details using JWT .

class PermissionView(APIView):
    permission_classes = [IsAuthenticated]
    authentication_classes = [BasicAuthentication,JSONWebTokenAuthentication]

    def get(self, request,format=None):
        data = {
            'username': request.user.username,
            'password':request.user.password,

        }
        return Response(data)

urls:

url(r'^api-token/$', obtain_jwt_token),

output: 1) generating the token

2) getting the user details using Basic Authentication and JsonWebTokenauthentication]

I am trying to get the user details or authenticate the user details using JWT token. Help would be appreciated?

Let us revisit JWT in Django flow to understand something:

1. user requests a token from url api-token-auth with his username and password.
2. jwt authenticates the user and returns a token for you to use afterwards (this is done for us by the JWT framework)
3. next when you send the token the JWT authentication class will authenticate the token for you and populate the request with user information you want so that you can use them later in your views.

Conclusion: you will find the user who is currently requesting your API in the request object as request.user .
