[FEATURE] error message for is_active=False user

[tonypottera24]

Does anyone know how to extend the APIVIew to return more accurate messages for is_active=False users?

from rest_framework.decorators import api_view
from rest_framework.response import Response

@api_view()
def hello_world(request):
    if request.user.is_active:
        return Response({"message": "Hello, world!"})
    
   return Response({"message": "Not hello, world!"})
    

?

This library for some reason decides that if a user isn't active it just won't ever send an email out and it does this by monkey patching the user model to expose a new function

I don't know if this is the best or most elegant fix, but you can monkey patch it back out. A env setting to allow inactive users to have password resets would be so much better.

# django_rest_passwordreset_override.py
# Override for django-rest-passwordreset
from django.conf import settings
from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model


def override_password_reset():
    # add eligible_for_reset to the user class
    UserModel = get_user_model()
    UserModel.add_to_class("eligible_for_reset", eligible_for_reset)


def eligible_for_reset(self):
    if getattr(settings, 'DJANGO_REST_MULTITOKENAUTH_REQUIRE_USABLE_PASSWORD', True):
        # if we require a usable password then return the result of has_usable_password()
        return self.has_usable_password()
    else:
        # otherwise return True because we dont care about the result of has_usable_password()
        return True

# urls.py
# call this after importing the rest urls 
override_password_reset()
