I am creating a Django / Angular project but I am having an issue. In normal django applications without frontend framework we can just do request.user and we can get the iformation needed. I already created the api endpoints to my User model but is there a way to directly find the user Id to make a call like this: getUserById(userId: number): Observable<User> { const url = `${this.baseUrl}users/${userId}/`; return this.http.get<User>(url); } Or do I need to set up a different serializer like this for example: class CurrentUserView(APIView): permission_classes = [IsAuthenticated] def get(self, request): user = request.user # Get the current logged-in user serializer = UserSerializer(user) return Response(serializer.data) make a call to this endpoint and then with the data from here access the rest of the endpoints? Also right now I havent set up an Authentication mechanism. Maybe in the future if I do I wont be needing an endpoint like this? Thanks in advance Continue reading...
