Validate and get the user using the jwt token inside a view

[Robin Lery]

I am using django-rest-framework for the REST API and django-rest-framework-jwt for JSON web token authentication. After a successful login, the user is provided with a token. I have found how to verify a token with the api call, but is there any way to validate the token inside a view and get the user of that token, similar to request.user?

Hi,

have you try to use jwt_decode_handler(token)?

I found this on utils.py

I check the source code of verify token,
there's reference to decode handler inside the code.

Thanks. But that doesn't verify the token.

I was about to that by this

from rest_framework_jwt.serializers import VerifyJSONWebTokenSerializer

data = {'token': token}
valid_data = VerifyJSONWebTokenSerializer().validate(data)
user = valid_data['user']

Hope this helps any body like me.
