You can use django signals where you define a receiver function that listens to post_save signal from your user model. For the actual token creation, you can use Token module from rest_framework.authtoken.models with passing the user instance as parameter. 

from django.dispatch import receiver

from rest_framework.authtoken.models import Token

@receiver(post_save, sender=settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL)

def create_auth_token(sender, instance=None, created=False, **kwards):

    if created:

        Token.objects.create(user=instance)

This is best for generating tokens

add inside models

def tokens(self):
        refresh=RefreshToken.for_user(self)
       return {
       'refresh':str( ),
        'access':str(refresh.access_token)
        }

setting add 

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': [
'rest_framework_simplejwt.authentication.JWTAuthentication',
],
}

and after login return your token
