This one is the same as V1 Django REST framework boilerplate with djoser, Simple JWT, django-environ and Swagger. But the difference is that it uses an email address as user identification token instead of a username. Email field is used instead of username field and username field does not exist...

Overview

The Django REST framework boilerplate is an impressive starting point for developers looking to build API applications with efficiency and reliability. Leveraging robust libraries and features such as Djoser for user management and Simple JWT for secure authentication, this boilerplate simplifies the complex aspects of API development. With environment management via django-environ and automatic documentation through Swagger, this setup provides an all-in-one solution that allows developers to focus on creating their application rather than worrying about foundational elements.

Whether you're a seasoned developer or just venturing into building RESTful APIs, this boilerplate offers the necessary tools and structure to streamline your workflow. By integrating a custom user model and supporting email-based authentication instead of traditional usernames, it aligns with current best practices, ensuring both flexibility and security.
