I want to use request.user in Django Rest Framework custom middleware.
It returns AnnonymousUser and I failed.
I created new Custom middleware which returns real user.
from django.contrib.auth.middleware import get_user
from django.utils.functional import SimpleLazyObject
from rest_framework_jwt.authentication import JSONWebTokenAuthentication
class AuthenticationMiddlewareJWT(object):
def __init__(self, get_response):
self.get_response = get_response
def __call__(self, request):
request.user = SimpleLazyObject(lambda: self.__class__.get_jwt_user(request))
return self.get_response(request)
@staticmethod
def get_jwt_user(request):
user = get_user(request)
if user.is_authenticated:
return user
jwt_authentication = JSONWebTokenAuthentication()
if jwt_authentication.get_jwt_value(request):
user, jwt = jwt_authentication.authenticate(request)
return user
Above middleware, jwt_authentication.get_jwt_value(request), this returns always None.
How can I fix it and use request.user in custom middleware?
