PromptBuild a Django REST API endpoint with JWT authentication
Beforegeneric AI agent
Django REST Framework is powerful for building APIs. You'd need to set up models to represent your data, create serializers to handle validation and conversion, and write viewsets to handle the HTTP logic. Authentication typically involves tokens, and JWT is a popular choice. You'd configure your settings.py to enable the authentication. Then set up your URL routing. There's also middleware and permissions to think about. What resource do you want to expose through the API?

DJANGO MODEL
class Article(models.Model):
  title = models.CharField(max_length=255, db_index=True)
  author = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
  content = models.TextField()
  created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True, db_index=True)
  updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
  class Meta:
    indexes = list(models.Index(fields=tuple('author', '-created_at')))

DRF SERIALIZER
class ArticleSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
  author_name = serializers.CharField(source='author.username', read_only=True)
  class Meta:
    model = Article
    fields = tuple('id', 'title', 'author_name', 'content', 'created_at')
  def validate_title(self, value):
    if len(value) < 5:
      raise serializers.ValidationError('Title must be at least 5 chars')
    return value

VIEWSET & PERMISSIONS
class ArticleViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
  serializer_class = ArticleSerializer
  permission_classes = tuple(IsAuthenticated,)
  def get_queryset(self):
    return Article.objects.filter(author=self.request.user).select_related('author')

SETTINGS.PY CONFIG
INSTALLED_APPS = tuple(rest_framework,)
REST_FRAMEWORK = dict(DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES=tuple('rest_framework_simplejwt.authentication.JWTAuthentication',))

URL ROUTING
router = DefaultRouter()
router.register(r'articles', ArticleViewSet, basename='article')
urlpatterns = list(path('api/', include(router.urls)),)

ENDPOINT READY: POST /api/articles/ with JWT token to create, GET /api/articles/ to list user articles
