How can I add user data to the Response on login?

[JadSayegh]

I'm trying to add information from the user model to the Response that is returns when a user logs-in with their username and password. Right now the rest_framework_jwt.views.obtain_jwt_token only returns the token. I've considered subclassing ObtainJSONWebToken, in an effort to add the user data by overriding the post method. Is this the recommended approach?

My subclass currently looks like this and is working fine. Is this a correct approach?

from rest_framework_jwt import views as jwt_views
from .serializers import UserSerializer 

class UserLoginViewJWT(jwt_views.ObtainJSONWebToken):
    user_serializer_class = UserSerializer

    def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        response =  super().post(request, *args, **kwargs)

        if response.status_code == status.HTTP_200_OK:
            user = get_user_model().objects.get(email=request.data[get_user_model().USERNAME_FIELD])
            serialized_user = self.user_serializer_class(user)
            response.data.update(serialized_user.data)
        return response

You can also do this with the JWT_RESPONSE_PAYLOAD_HANDLER setting. http://getblimp.github.io/django-rest-framework-jwt/#jwt_response_payload_handler
