TL;DR: Django, DRF, DRF SimpleJWT with React Frontend sample.

The purpose of this is to get you started with a secure React-Django project. No need to implement authentication+authorization on your frontend when it's already done for you. You can start by pressing "Use this template"; it's not a fork but a new repository with a fresh initial commit with all the code from here.

Test user: test and pw test.

• iOS: Andrew-Chen-Wang/mobile-auth-example
• React: SimpleJWT/drf-SimpleJWT-React

This repository is an example of using React on the front end comminicating with Django, Django Rest Framework and DRF SimpleJWT applications.

1. cd server to get your terminal/cmd into the server directory.
2. To run the server, create a virtual environment virtualenv venv && source venv/bin/activate, install packages pip install -r requirements.txt -- the requirements.txt file is inside the server subdirectory -- and do python manage.py migrate && python manage.py runserver.
   • Again, make sure when you do this, you are inside the server directory on your terminal/cmd.
   • On Windows, you should do venv\Scripts\activate instead of source venv/bin/activate
3. If you're writing for an example repository, please create a new directory labeled with the name of the framework (e.g. jwt-ios), and add its .gitignore. Please use the github/gitignore repository. Provide detailed instructions if necessary.

A default user with the username test and password test have been created.

This repository does not come with throttling, but it is highly recommended that you add throttling to your entire project. You can use a third-party package called Django-ratelimit or DRF's internal throttling mechanism. Django-ratelimit is more extensive -- covering Django views, as well -- and thus more supported by SimpleJWT.

1. cd jwt-react to get your terminal/server into the frontend (react) folder.

2. npm install to install all of the dependencies for the front end application.

3. npm start and you should be good to go, ensure that your backend is running on port http://localhost:8000, if you run it on another port/ip please change the BASE_URL in jwt-react/src/api/auth.js

4. Use npm test if you'd like to run the test which tests the api/ folder currently.
