restframework-jwt how can I handle payload? - django-rest-framework

Question

I used Django restframework to implement api server.
Also I used djangorestframework-jwt for token authentication.
[urls.py]
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
from rest_framework_jwt.views import refresh_jwt_token
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('', include('rest_auth.urls')),
path('registration/', include('rest_auth.registration.urls')),
path('refresh-token/', refresh_jwt_token),
]
Everything works fine. But I want to know that How can I extract payload from token?
For example, There is article table.
[/article/serializers.py]
from rest_framework import serializers
from . import models
class ArticleSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = models.Article
fields = '__all__'
[models.py]
from django.db import models
class Article(models.Model):
subject = models.CharField(max_length=20)
content = models.CharField(max_length=100)
[views.py]
from rest_framework.views import APIView
from rest_framework.response import Response
from rest_framework import status
from . import models, serializers
class Article(APIView):
def get(self, request, format=None):
all_article = models.Article.objects.all()
serializer = serializers.ArticleSerializer(all_article, many=True)
return Response(data=serializer.data, status=status.HTTP_200_OK)
In this case, I want to return correct response only payload['userid'] == article's userid.
How can I extract username from jwt token?
Previous, I just use jwt not djangorestframework-jwt, So just decode request data and use it.
But now I use djangorestframework-jwt, I confused How can I do it.
Is there any solution about this?
Thanks.

I solved this issue after checking the library's documentation here
https://jpadilla.github.io/django-rest-framework-jwt/
I needed to Override all the functions to return custom response as required in my application.
Also any additional settings we need to specify in JWT_AUTH in settings.py of my application.
i.e.
JWT_AUTH = {
'JWT_RESPONSE_PAYLOAD_HANDLER':
'myapp.utils.jwt_response_payload_handler',
}
And needed to define jwt_response_payload_handler function in a util folder in my app to override the default function.
