Dev Authentication:

In the previous part me met a status 403.
We can adjust the setting in rest framework to allow creating new tweet in reactjs.

• add DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES in /Twittme/settings.py ```python

  …

  DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES = [ # new ‘rest_framework.authentication.SessionAuthentication’ ]

if DEBUG: DEFAULT_RENDERER_CLASSES += [ ‘rest_framework.renderers.BrowsableAPIRenderer’, ] DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES += [ # new

]

REST_FRAMEWORK = {

# 'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': ['rest_framework.authentication.SessionAuthentication']
'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES,
'DEFAULT_RENDERER_CLASSES': DEFAULT_RENDERER_CLASSES

}

Under Twittme/ directory, create a new directory rest_api/<br />Also, create 2 new files __init__.py and dev.py in rest_api/<br />(__init__.py must be **double underscore**)
- Then in /Twittme/settings.py
```python
if DEBUG:
    DEFAULT_RENDERER_CLASSES += [
        'rest_framework.renderers.BrowsableAPIRenderer',
    ]
    DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES += [ 
        'Twittme.rest_api.dev.DevAuthentication' # new
    ]

This is to import authentication from dev.py we just created.

• add contents of authentication in Twittme/rest_api/dev.py ```python from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model from rest_framework import authentication

User = get_user_model()

class DevAuthentication(authentication.BasicAuthentication): def authenticate(self, request): qs = User.objects.all() user = qs.order_by(“?”).first() return (user, None) ```
