dj-rest-auth VS django-auth-tutorial

I am using dj-rest-auth for authentication. I am using JWT token authentication. All advice on JWT tokens is to not store them in local storage. Instead, using this package I store them in HttpOnly cookie. Now, I am apparently vulnerable to CSRF attack. So I enable JWT_AUTH_COOKIE_USE_CSRF. This checks the CSRF token on authenticated requests. However, there is still the potential vulnerability known as "login CSRF" as detailed by this issue on Github. In order to account for this, there is another setting called JWT_AUTH_COOKIE_ENFORCE_CSRF_ON_UNAUTHENTICATED. This enforces CSRF on unauthenticated views (such as login).

Try to use https://github.com/iMerica/dj-rest-auth

I was using djoser in the past. Now Im using very similar dj-rest-auth https://github.com/iMerica/dj-rest-auth

you can use this.

I found the dj-rest-auth as a method of making a rest auth api, unfortunately when using the documentation I have this error coming up.

I've followed the documentation: https://dj-rest-auth.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html

Right now, I'm using dj-rest-auth for Token based authentication. I store token in the localStorage. Earlier I was using djoser for adding auth in the project (I wrote article about my approach with djoser).

Please use https://github.com/iMerica/dj-rest-auth as this project is no longer maintained. Thanks!

The source code is available on Github if you need a reference or spot any issues with this tutorial. Please give the repo a star if you found it helpful.

I don't think you need that post function, especially if you're following William Vincent's tutorials. You should look into the source code that he provides to see if you've followed it to the letter. My concerns would be how you set up your own settings.py file and the template (whether the CSRF token was set, if you missed the "POST" attribute, etc.)
