"Authentication credentials were not provided." Thunder client Django Rest

Question

I am trying to restrict dashboard access only, which can be viewed only when the token is passed into the header but...

    if request.method == "POST":
        user_name = request.POST['user_name']
        name = request.POST['first_name']
        lastname = request.POST['last_name']
        designation = request.POST['designation']
        password = request.POST['password']
        email = request.POST['email']
        user = MyUser(username=user_name, first_name=name,
                      last_name=lastname)
        user.set_password(password)
        user.save()
        obj = Employee(user=user, first_name=name,
                       last_name=lastname, designation=designation, email=email, isactive=False)
        obj.save()
        current_site = get_current_site(request)
        # mail_subject = 'Activate your account.'
        # message = render_to_string('Auth/email_template.html', {
        #     'user': user,
        #     'domain': current_site.domain,
        #     'uid': urlsafe_base64_encode(force_bytes(user.id)),
        #     'token': account_activation_token.make_token(user),
        # })
        # to_email = email
        # send_mail(mail_subject, message, settings.EMAIL_HOST_USER, [to_email])
        obj, create = Token.objects.get_or_create(user=user)
        return JsonResponse(obj.key, safe=False)

login view

 @csrf_exempt
    @api_view(['GET', 'POST'])
    def login_in(request):
        if request.method == 'POST':
            name = request.data['first_name']
            password = request.data['password']
    
            user = authenticate(username=name, password=password)
            if user is not None:
                login(request, user)
                tok = Token.objects.get(user=request.user)
                return JsonResponse(tok.key, safe=False)
            else:
                print('Not authenticated')
        return render(request, 'Auth/user.html')

Dashboard view

@api_view(['GET'])
@permission_classes([IsAuthenticated])
def dash_board(request):

    if request.method == 'GET':
        print(request.user.is_authenticated)
        return render(request, 'Auth/dashboard.html', {
            'user': request.user,

        })

Response I am getting from thunder client

{
  "detail": "Authentication credentials were not provided."
}

I am passing request headers using thunder client in which Authorization header is set to

Token d2ed0c39f31bb1c080753bkldd0f4c0ab96b5a07

Answer 1

Thunder client sends the token with the Bearer prefix. But drf accepts token prefix as Token. You need to change the Token prefix to Token.

As mentioned in the comment provide by @MikeOne, subscribing inside another subscribe is a bad practice, is call, callback hell; for that, you must use High RxJs order operators such as mergeMap, switchMap, concatMap and exhaustMap, so depending on what you need, you will need to use one of them.

For instance, you could use mergeMap like this:

this.taskServices
      .addService()
      .pipe(
        mergeMap((response) => {
          if (response)
            return this.taskServices
              .clean()
              .pipe(tap(() => console.log('Done cleaning')));

          return of('nothing happened');
        })
      )
      .subscribe();
