How to know current user Django-rest-framework + rest-auth + ReactJS?

Question

React

There is an application on django-rest + Reactjs. For login I use rest-auth. I send using Jquery AJAX to /auth/login and the user logs in - a token is returned in response. Question: How can I find out the id of the current user after login?

Answer 1

rewrite the serializers, add the id field next to the key(token) and that's it.

Answer 2

you can use JWT

Answer 3

1. why do you need jquery? what fetch or axios did not please at worst
   
2. if your api requires the user to know their id, then store it as a token
