REST implementation of Django <https://www.djangoproject.com/>_ authentication system. djoser library provides a set of Django Rest Framework <https://www.django-rest-framework.org/>_ views to handle basic actions such as registration, login, logout, password reset and account activation. It works with custom user model <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/customizing/>_.

Supported features include:

  • Token-based authentication
  • JWT authentication
  • Social authentication
  • WebAuthn support

Instead of reusing Django code (e.g. PasswordResetForm), we reimplemented few things to fit better into Single Page App <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-page_application>_ architecture.

Developed by SUNSCRAPERS <http://sunscrapers.com/>_ with passion & patience.

Requirements

To be able to run djoser you have to meet the following requirements:

  • Python>=3.9,<4.0 (including 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, and 3.13)
  • Django>=3.2 (supporting Django 3.2 through 5.2)
  • Django REST Framework>=3.14

Installation

Simply install using pip:

.. code-block:: bash

$ pip install djoser

And continue with the steps described at configuration <https://djoser.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html#configuration>_ guide.

Documentation

Documentation is available to study at https://djoser.readthedocs.io <https://djoser.readthedocs.io>_ and in docs directory.

Contributing and development

To start developing on djoser, clone the repository:

.. code-block:: bash

$ git clone git@github.com:sunscrapers/djoser.git

We use poetry <https://python-poetry.org/>_ as dependency management and packaging tool.

.. code-block:: bash

$ cd djoser
$ poetry install --all-extras

This will create a virtualenv with all development dependencies.

To run the test just type:

.. code-block:: bash

$ poetry run pytest

We also prepared a convenient Makefile to automate commands above:

.. code-block:: bash

$ make init
$ make test

To activate the virtual environment run

.. code-block:: bash

$ poetry shell

Without poetry

New versions of pip can use pyproject.toml to build the package and install its dependencies.

.. code-block:: bash

$ pip install .[test]

.. code-block:: bash

$ cd testproject
$ ./manage.py test

Example project

You can also play with test project by running following commands:

.. code-block:: bash

$ make migrate
$ make runserver

Commiting your code

Before sending patches please make sure you have pre-commit <https://pre-commit.com/>_ activated in your local git repository:

.. code-block:: bash

$ poetry run pre-commit install

This will ensure that your code is cleaned before you commit it. The pre-commit hooks will run:

  • Black (code formatting)
  • Ruff (linting)
  • Docformatter (docstring formatting)
  • Other quality checks

List of projects related to Django, REST and authentication:

  • django-rest-registration <https://github.com/apragacz/django-rest-registration>_
  • django-oauth-toolkit <https://github.com/evonove/django-oauth-toolkit>_

Please, keep in mind that while using custom authentication and TokenCreateSerializer validation, there is a path that ignores intentional return of None from authenticate() and try to find User using parameters. Probably, that will be changed in the future.
