Django REST Framework User Registration

Django REST

About Lesson

In this Django REST Framework lesson we are going to learn about Django REST Framework User Registration, we will learn that how you can register a user with specific Token.

Open your serializers.py file and create new serializer for the User system, we are going to use the built in system from django, also we want dynamically token for the new registered users.

from rest_framework import serializers
from .models import Article
from django.contrib.auth.admin import User
from rest_framework.authtoken.views import Token


class ArticleSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = Article
        fields = ['id', 'title', 'description']


#new serializer for the user
class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ['id', 'username', 'password']

        extra_kwargs = {'password': {
            'write_only':True,
            'required':True
        }}


    def create(self, validated_data):
        user = User.objects.create_user(**validated_data)
        Token.objects.create(user=user)
        return user

from rest_framework import serializers

from .models import Article

from django.contrib.auth.admin import User

from rest_framework.authtoken.views import Token

class ArticleSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):

class Meta:

model = Article

fields = ['id', 'title', 'description']

#new serializer for the user

class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):

class Meta:

model = User

fields = ['id', 'username', 'password']

extra_kwargs = {'password': {

'write_only':True,

'required':True

}}

def create(self, validated_data):

user = User.objects.create_user(**validated_data)

Token.objects.create(user=user)

return user

Now we want to create our view for the user, so open your views.py file.

from .models import Article
from .serializers import ArticleSerializer, UserSerializer
from rest_framework import viewsets
from rest_framework.authentication import TokenAuthentication
from rest_framework.permissions import IsAuthenticated
from django.contrib.auth.admin import User


class ArticleViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):

    serializer_class = ArticleSerializer
    queryset = Article.objects.all()
    authentication_classes = (TokenAuthentication,)
    permission_classes = [IsAuthenticated]



#newly added view for the user system
class UserViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    queryset = User.objects.all()
    serializer_class = UserSerializer

from .models import Article

from .serializers import ArticleSerializer, UserSerializer

from rest_framework import viewsets

from rest_framework.authentication import TokenAuthentication

from rest_framework.permissions import IsAuthenticated

from django.contrib.auth.admin import User

class ArticleViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):

serializer_class = ArticleSerializer

queryset = Article.objects.all()

authentication_classes = (TokenAuthentication,)

permission_classes = [IsAuthenticated]

#newly added view for the user system

class UserViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):

queryset = User.objects.all()

serializer_class = UserSerializer

from django.urls import path, include
from .views import ArticleViewSet, UserViewSet
from rest_framework.routers import DefaultRouter

router = DefaultRouter()
router.register('articles', ArticleViewSet, basename='articles')
router.register('users', UserViewSet, basename='users')

urlpatterns = [

    path('api/', include(router.urls))

]

from django.urls import path, include

from .views import ArticleViewSet, UserViewSet

from rest_framework.routers import DefaultRouter

router = DefaultRouter()

router.register('articles', ArticleViewSet, basename='articles')

router.register('users', UserViewSet, basename='users')

urlpatterns = [

path('api/', include(router.urls))

]

And now you can register a new user with the specific token.
