Adding DRF support out of the box

[timur-orudzhov]

@vdboor Thanks for the great package!

It's not an issue actually, but a feature request. Do you consider adding DRF support shortly? Problem with that implementation that DRF has own auth system – https://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/authentication/#setting-the-authentication-scheme.

Best regards!

You're welcome! :-)

I think you can already work with DRF. The authentication can be disabled (i.e. overwritten in the view). The DRF authentication is nothing more but a nice layer to set the proper request.user object. Your authentication function can check that, or be disabled when the view already handles this. The https://github.com/edoburu/django-private-storage#retrieving-files-by-object-id example also does that.

Hi i am using DRF and graphql_jwt.backends.JSONWebTokenBackend and a custom can_access_file(self, private_file): method. However,private_file.request.user is always AnonymousUser . Is there anything I am missing?

Thanks.
