Migration Guide

Migrating from 1.x to 2.0

Here are some advices to help you with the transition to new Djoser.

  1. If you still use Python 2.x - stay on Djoser 1.x.

  2. If you still use Django REST Framework 3.9 or lower - stay on Djoser 1.x.

  3. There were several changes to default settings

  4. User-related endpoints are gathered within UserViewSet.

Some View class names and URLs has been updated or removed

View class names:

  • RootView has been removed

  • UserCreateView, UserDeleteView, UserView, PasswordResetView, SetPasswordView, PasswordResetConfirmView, SetUsernameView, ActivationView, and ResendActivationView have all been removed and replaced by appropriate sub-views within UserViewSet.

If you subclassed any of those views, you need to refactor your code - we suggest subclassing UserViewSet and overwrite appropriate methods there.

Base URLs:

  • users/create/, users/delete/, users/confirm/, and users/resend/ removed; use viewset-provided endpoints (see settings)

  • password/ has been renamed to users/set_password/

  • password/reset/ has been renamed to users/reset_password/

  • password/reset/confirm/ has been renamed to users/reset_password_confirm/

Token Based Authentication URLs:

  • use token/login to create token

  • user token/logout to invalidate the token

Added URLs:

  • users/set_{0}/ format(User.USERNAME_FIELD)

  • users/reset_{0}/ format(User.USERNAME_FIELD)

  • users/reset_{0}_confirm/ format(User.USERNAME_FIELD)

If anything else stopped working: consult settings first before filing a bug report.
