        A [custom user model][django-customizing-user-model-url] based package with features ranging from JWT and Basic authentication to REST API end-points for signup,signin,
        email verification, password resetting and account activation.
         
        Email verification and password resetting are based on hashed verification-code and temporary password respectively. And 
        account activation is based on a combination of user selected security question(provided through the admin portal by site 
        administrator(superuser)) and an answer.
        
        ## Classes dependency structure
        
        `TokenKey` > `Token` > `User` > `AuthenticationBackend` > `Serializer` > `View` > `url_patterns`
        
        Most of the package's features are designed to be independently usable and customizable to suit most needs.
        
        >**NOTE:** the  closer the dependency(use) get to the `url_patterns` the harder it becomes to extend and customize the 
        >classes and features before it's predecessor. For example, modifying a `Serializer` without modifying it's dependant 
        >`View` and still using unmodified `url_patterns` would most likely result in unexpected behaviour. But on the other 
        >hand an extension to the `User` class without a dependency on it's dependant classes(`AuthenticationBackend` e.t.c) 
        >will most likely work as expected.
        
        ## What makes django-rest-xauth different
        
        - Custom user class provides most common **optional** fields with reasonable complementary-helper methods e.g. 
        `date_of_birth` field that also comes with an age-calculation helper method to help estimate users age
        - Access logging(IP-address should be provided as a `X-Forwarded-For` header)
        - Failed Sign-in attempts logging(IP-address should be provided as a `X-Forwarded-For` header)
        - Password-reset logging(IP-address should be provided as a `X-Forwarded-For` header)
        - Encrypted JWT tokens
        - Security question based account activation in-case account was deactivated
        - Mobile apps friendly:
            - temporary password based user password reset
            - verification code based user account activation.
        
        >**N/B:** _temporary passwords_ and _verification codes_ are both generated and returned from the `User` model hence 
        >opting to SMS based sending of the _verification codes_ and _temporary passwords_ should be as easy as extending the 
        >`User` model, overriding a single method(that also generates and returns the code) and finally changing django's 
        >`AUTH_USER_MODEL` to your model name as [explained here][django-auth-user-model-setting-url].
        
        ## Quick start
        Add the following to your Django project's `settings.py` file
        
        - Install package `pip install django-rest-xauth`
        - Add **xauth** to your `INSTALLED_APPS` setting like this
        ```python
        INSTALLED_APPS = [
            ...,
            'xauth',
        ]
        ```
        - Add/modify your `AUTH_USER_MODEL` setting to
        ```python
        AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'xauth.User'
        ```
        - Add/modify your `REST_FRAMEWORK` setting to
        ```python
        REST_FRAMEWORK = {
            'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': [
                'xauth.authentication.BasicTokenAuthentication',
                ...,
            ],
            'EXCEPTION_HANDLER': 'xauth.utils.exceptions.xauth_exception_handler',
        }
        ```
        - Include the xauth URLconf in your project `urls.py` like this
        ```python
        urlpatterns = [
            path('accounts/', include('xauth.urls', namespace='xauth')),
            ...,
        ]
        ```
        - Run `python manage.py migrate` to create the xauth models.
        - Run `python manage.py createsuperuser` to create a superuser account.
        - Start the development server and visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/accounts/signup/ to register a new account.
