python - Override the authToken views in Django Rest -

i using token based authentication in django , need add user object in addition token being returned.

how override class view ? need add class , make changes ? found in rest_framework package , don't want modify library .

from rest_framework import parsers, renderers rest_framework.authtoken.models import token rest_framework.authtoken.serializers import authtokenserializer rest_framework.response import response rest_framework.views import apiview   class obtainauthtoken(apiview):     throttle_classes = ()     permission_classes = ()     parser_classes = (parsers.formparser, parsers.multipartparser, parsers.jsonparser,)     renderer_classes = (renderers.jsonrenderer,)     serializer_class = authtokenserializer     print "dasdsa"      def post(self, request):         serializer = self.serializer_class(data=request.data)         serializer.is_valid(raise_exception=true)         user = serializer.validated_data['user']         token, created = token.objects.get_or_create(user=user)         return response({'token': token.key})   obtain_auth_token = obtainauthtoken.as_view() 

you should extend customclass authtoken, route default url customclass:

from rest_framework_jwt.views import obtainjsonwebtoken  class jsonwebtokenapioverride(obtainjsonwebtoken):     """     override jwt     """     def post(self, request):         # whatever want 

then in urls.py:

url(     r'^api-auth$',     cache_page(0)(views.jsonwebtokenapioverride.as_view()) ) 

i hope helps
