The reason your React application is not receiving any tokens following Google login is that Django manages the OAuth flow and authenticates the user, but it does not automatically transmit the access or refresh tokens from your backend to the frontend. Once Google redirects back to Django, it simply logs the user in and redirects to your LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL (which is your React application), but does not include any tokens. To resolve this issue, you must introduce an additional step: develop a custom Django view that intercepts the redirect, retrieves the Google access token from the logged-in user’s social authentication data, and subsequently redirects to your React application with that token included in the URL (for example, ?google_token=...). Within your React application, extract that token from the URL and promptly send a POST request to /api/v1/auth/token/convert-token/, including your client_id, client_secret, backend=google-oauth2, and the token you received. This endpoint will provide you with your own API's access and refresh tokens, which you can then store and utilize for all subsequent authenticated API requests. Essentially, Django has completed its task; now React simply needs to invoke /convert-token/ to finalize the process.
