Simple JWT Extensions

Extensions for the djangorestframework-simplejwt library.

Settings

All pre-existing settings for djangorestframework-simplejwt are unchanged. The following settings are added and can be set in your settings.py file:

# Django project settings.py

...

SIMPLE_JWT = {
    ...
    'NEW_USER_CALLBACK': None,
}

NEW_USER_CALLBACK

A dot path to a callable that is used if the identifier from the token does not match a user in the database. Receives the request and the identifier as arguments. Should return None to fail authentication or a User object to succeed. Will only be used by the JWTAuthentication backend.

Backends

JWTTokenAuthentication

Use this instead of the djangorestframework-simplejwt JWTTokenAuthentication backend to take advantage of features added by this package.
