在没有 DRF 的表单提交上的 Django 视图中生成 JWT 令牌

Question

I would like to know how can I generate a JWT token in django based on some fields which I get from a form submit in the view. This toke is not used authentication in django but I need to pass this token back in response which will then be sent to another service using JavaScript.

I am not using DRF currently.

The flow will be something like

FrontEnd -> Form submit -> Django Backend generate JWT -> Send back to FrontEnd in response

Again this is not for authentication on django.

If someone can point me to a working example that will definitely help me out.

Regards, M.

Found my answer.

Use the python library called pyjwt

code example (JWTvalid for 1 hour)

import jwt
import datetime
exp_time = datetime.datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(hours=1)
JWT_PAYLOAD = {
        "context": {
            "user": {
                "name": "My Name",
                "email": "My Email",
            },
            "iss": "My ISS",
            "exp": int(exp_time.timestamp()),
            "iat": int(datetime.datetime.now().timestamp()),
        }
    }
jwt_token = jwt.encode(JWT_PAYLOAD, settings.JWT_SECRET, algorithm='HS256')
