Customize login view response

[math77]

Hello,

how can I customize the response of the login view so that it returns the token and also the id of the logged in user?

Create custom view that inherits LoginView

from rest_auth.registration.views import LoginView

...

class LoginViewCustom(LoginView):
    authentication_classes = (TokenAuthentication,)

    def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        response = super().post(request, *args, **kwargs)

        user_serializer_data = UserSerializer(self.user, context={'request': request})
        aaa = {'user': user_serializer_data.data}
        aaa.update(response.data)

        return Response(aaa)
