Tags / Names for API tokens

[january3]

Problem

Sometimes I would like to create a token for a specific client or purpose

Solution

It should be possible to specify a name / tag for a token (to remember that "ah, this is my cubi-tk token")

Good idea. I'll have to see if django-rest-knox supports this or if it can be easily extended.

The django-rest-knox AuthToken model does not have a field for naming your tokens. However, in recent releases there seems to be a mechanism for swapping the model with your custom one. There is a bit of risk in that, as we need to then make sure our custom model stays compatible with future django-rest-knox releases, but this does seem doable.

I'm tagging this for v1.2 for now and will look further into it once developing that milestone.
