NextAuth.js Django Provider Example

Example of using NextAuth.js with a Django (DRF & JWT) backend.

This repository contains:

1. Django backend with a Django Rest Framework API supporting authentication using JWT.
2. NextAuth.js application with a Django JWT provider.

Note: The main inspiration comes from this thread and in particular this contribution by mojtabajahannia.
