In this course, you will learn to use a package called Simple JWT to help implement JWT authentication in your Django RESTful projects.

In the beginning, you will learn how to create custom users in Django using Django RESTful. Next, you will learn to register users using JWT and send them account verification emails. After that, you will learn how to make custom token claims when logging in users, and also how to refresh the tokens after expiry. You will then learn how to reset passwords and understand how password reset emails work. You will learn to organize your users in Django RESTful, log them out, and also black-list their JWT tokens. You will finish by learning how to manage and test your endpoints by documenting and testing them.

After the completion of this course, you will be able to create custom users in Django RESTful framework, authenticate them using Simple JWT, programmatically send account verification and password reset emails.

Custom User Authentication with Simple JWT in Django RESTful


This lesson focuses on implementing the login endpoint.

## Our login endpoint
When we build the endpoint, our users should be able to log in. The endpoint calls on the `LoginView` upon a request and submits the login credentials. The view then calls on the `LoginSerializer` for serialization and validation of the login credentials. The `view` also sees to it that, if there are any exceptions, they are raised. After the user has logged in, the user data gets rendered by this endpoint.

Let's add the `login` endpoint to the other URL patterns in `main/urls.py`.
