如何移除Django rest auth中的/rest-auth/user/端点？

Hey there! To get rid of the auto-generated /rest-auth/user/ endpoint (the GET/PUT/PATCH one) while keeping login, registration, password management, etc., you just need to avoid using include("rest_auth.urls") directly — instead, manually add only the specific rest-auth views you want to keep. Here's how to adjust your urls.py:

Step 1: Import the required rest-auth views #

First, import the individual views from rest_auth that you want to retain (skip UserDetailsView since that's the one powering the /user/ endpoint you don't need).

Step 2: Manually define each rest-auth URL #

Replace the generic include("rest_auth.urls") line with explicit paths for login, logout, password change/reset, etc.

Modified urls.py Code #

from django.urls import path
# Import only the rest-auth views you need
from rest_auth.views import (
    LoginView, LogoutView, PasswordChangeView,
    PasswordResetView, PasswordResetConfirmView
)
from . import views  # Assuming your UserProfileView is in this app's views

urlpatterns = [
    # Manual rest-auth endpoints (no /user/ included)
    path('login/', LoginView.as_view(), name='rest_login'),
    path('logout/', LogoutView.as_view(), name='rest_logout'),
    path('password/change/', PasswordChangeView.as_view(), name='rest_password_change'),
    path('password/reset/', PasswordResetView.as_view(), name='rest_password_reset'),
    path('password/reset/confirm/', PasswordResetConfirmView.as_view(), name='rest_password_reset_confirm'),
    
    # Your existing registration endpoint
    path('register/', include('rest_auth.registration.urls'), name="user-auth-registration"),
    
    # Your custom user profile endpoint
    path('<uid>/', views.UserProfileView.as_view(), name="user-profile"),
]

Why this works #

The default rest_auth.urls includes all endpoints, including UserDetailsView mapped to /user/. By explicitly adding only the views you need, you exclude the /user/ endpoint entirely while keeping all other rest-auth functionality intact.

This approach gives you full control over which endpoints are exposed, so you can keep using your custom UserProfileView without any conflicts.
