Django Custom User with DRF and Simple JWT

According to Django Document, it's highly recommended to set up a custom user model when starting a new project. This project is a sample to demo how to create custom user model, and using Django REST framework and SimpleJWT for API interface and token based authentication.

Check more detail in my blog post Django Custom User with DRF and Simple JWT.
