     type object 'RefreshToken' has no attribute 'for_user'

Answer 1

for generating a token for user you have to use Token not RefreshToken.

from rest_framework_simplejwt.tokens import Token

def get_tokens_for_user(user):
    refresh = Token.for_user(user)

    return {
        'access': str(refresh)
    }
