Django user.is_authenticated returns different results in different views

Question

I have an API view (using DJ Rest Framework) that I am posting to via React in my frontend. request.user.is_authenticated returns True here (and returns the user I have attempted to sign-in as), however, in my view for rendering the login page template, request.user.is_authenticated returns False, and the user object is an AnonymousUser .

Why is this?

I've checked this question , but it only has information on templates.

Here's the API view code:

@api_view(['POST'])
def login_api_view(request, *args, **kwargs):
    if request.user and request.user.is_authenticated:
        return Response({'message': 'User is already authenticated'}, status=400)

    username = request.data.get('username')
    password = request.data.get('password')
    if username is None or password is None:
        return Response({'message': 'Please specify a username and password'}, status=400)

    user = authenticate(request, username=username, password=password)
    if user is None:
        return Response({'message': 'Invalid credentials'}, status=401)
    login(request, user)

    return Response({'message': 'Successfully authenticated user'}, status=200)

And here's the code for the template:

def login_view(request, *args, **kwars):
    if request.user.is_authenticated:
        return redirect('/')
    
    return render(request, 'users/login.html')

在停止这方面的工作几天并回到它之后，我发现我的 Dev Authentication 类（ rest_framework.authentication.BasicAuthentication ）弄乱了我的结果。
