Object of type 'AuthToken' is not JSON serializable

I’m getting the above error when creating token, here’s the code:

` from rest_framework import generics, permissions from rest_framework.response import Response from knox.models import AuthToken from .serializers import UserSerializer, RegisterSerializer

class RegisterAPI(generics.GenericAPIView): serializer_class = RegisterSerializer

def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
    serializer = self.get_serializer(data=request.data)
    serializer.is_valid(raise_exception=True)
    user = serializer.save()
    return Response({
        "user": UserSerializer(user, context=self.get_serializer_context()).data,
        "token": AuthToken.objects.create(user)
    })

`

what am I doing wrong here

AuthToken.objects.create() returns a tuple of 2 values: the model instance and the token itself. See https://github.com/James1345/django-rest-knox/blob/05f218f1922999d1be76753076cf8af78f134e02/knox/models.py#L23 You only need to pass the token in your response, not the all tuple.

Something like this would do:

    ...
    _, token = AuthToken.objects.create(user)
    return Response({
        "user": UserSerializer(user, context=self.get_serializer_context()).data,
        "token": token
    })

one other way is use this

"token": AuthToken.objects.create(user)[1]
