Adding information to JWT token body using django rest framework jwt
<p>Im using django rest framework and the djangorestframework-jwt package to creat JWT tokens for authorization.  </p>

<p>On the frontend I can decode the token and get the username, email and user_id. However I would like to retrieve some extra information. For example it would be very convenient if I could get <code>kind</code> which is a field on our authorization model (user model).</p>

<p>I can ofcourse make a separate request to get the user info via a regular APIView. But I'm wondering if it's possible to add some extra params in the JWT body?</p>
