## 🛠️ Integration with Existing Systems

### Moderation System Integration

The authentication system integrates seamlessly with the existing moderation system:

```python
# In moderation endpoints
from apps.users.permissions import jwt_auth, require_moderator

@router.post("/submissions/{id}/approve", auth=jwt_auth)
@require_moderator
def approve_submission(request: HttpRequest, id: UUID):
    user = request.auth  # Authenticated user
    # Moderator can approve submissions
    ...
```

### Versioning System Integration

User information is automatically tracked in version records:

```python
# Versions automatically track who made changes
version = EntityVersion.objects.create(
    entity_type='park',
    entity_id=park.id,
    changed_by=request.auth,  # User from JWT
    ...
)
```

## 🎓 Next Steps for Frontend Integration

### 1. **Authentication Flow**

```typescript
// Login
const response = await fetch('/api/v1/auth/login', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    email: 'user@example.com',
    password: 'password123'
  })
});

const { access, refresh } = await response.json();

// Store tokens
localStorage.setItem('access_token', access);
localStorage.setItem('refresh_token', refresh);

// Use token in requests
const protectedResponse = await fetch('/api/v1/auth/me', {
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${access}`
  }
});
```

### 2. **Token Refresh**

```typescript
// Refresh token when access token expires
async function refreshToken() {
  const refresh = localStorage.getItem('refresh_token');
  
  const response = await fetch('/api/v1/auth/token/refresh', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
    body: JSON.stringify({ refresh })
  });
  
  const { access } = await response.json();
  localStorage.setItem('access_token', access);
  
  return access;
}
```

### 3. **Permission Checks**

```typescript
// Get user permissions
const permissions = await fetch('/api/v1/auth/me/permissions', {
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${access_token}`
  }
}).then(r => r.json());

// {
//   can_submit: true,
//   can_moderate: false,
//   can_admin: false,
//   can_edit_own: true,
//   can_delete_own: true
// }

// Conditional rendering
{permissions.can_moderate && (
  <button>Moderate Content</button>
)}
```

## 🔧 Configuration

### Environment Variables

Add to `.env`:

```bash
# JWT Settings (already configured in settings.py)
SECRET_KEY=your-secret-key-here

# OAuth (if using)
GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=your-google-client-id
GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=your-google-client-secret
DISCORD_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=your-discord-client-id
DISCORD_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=your-discord-client-secret

# Email (for password reset - TODO)
EMAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
EMAIL_PORT=587
EMAIL_HOST_USER=your-email@gmail.com
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD=your-email-password
EMAIL_USE_TLS=True
```

---

## 🐛 Known Limitations

1. **Password Reset Email**: Currently a placeholder - needs email backend configuration
2. **OAuth Redirect URLs**: Need to be configured in Google/Discord consoles
3. **Backup Codes**: MFA backup codes generation not yet implemented
4. **Rate Limiting**: Uses django-defender, but API-specific rate limiting to be added
5. **Session Management**: No "view all sessions" or "logout everywhere" yet
