demonstration of jwt authentication in a vue.js app with django's jwt

for django's auth set up, refer to my article on dev.to. Adjust the endpoints accordingly.

whitelist port 3000 on the django settings to allow CORS requests like so:

pip install django-cors-headers
pip install djangorestframework_simplejwt

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'rest_framework',
    'rest_framework_simplejwt',
    'corsheaders',
)

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
  ...
  'corsheaders.middleware.CorsMiddleware',
)

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
        'rest_framework_simplejwt.authentication.JWTAuthentication',
    ),
}

CORS_ORIGIN_ALLOW_ALL = False
CORS_ALLOW_CREDENTIALS = True
CORS_ORIGIN_WHITELIST = (
    # set this properly for production
    'http://127.0.0.1:3000',
)

Build Setup

# install dependencies
$ yarn install

# serve with hot reload at localhost:3000
$ yarn run dev

# build for production and launch server
$ yarn build
$ yarn start

# generate static project
$ yarn generate
