+### Customizing token claims for user
+You can specify a claim on the JWT and what User model attribute to get the claim value from using the
+setting `TOKEN_CLAIM_USER_ATTRIBUTE_MAP`.
+By default, this setting has the following value:
+```python
+{
+    # claim: model attribute
+    "user_id": "id",
+    "username": "username",
+    "last_login": "last_login",
+}
+```
+#### Serializing user attribute into JWT claim
+If the model attribute is not by default serializeable, you can specify how to serialize it by providing a custom
+implementation of json encoder class. Ie:
+```python
+# some_directory/custom_encoders.py
+
+from ninja_simple_jwt.jwt.json_encode import TokenUserEncoder
+
+class CustomTokenUserEncoder(TokenUserEncoder):
+    def default(self, o: Any) -> Any:
+        if isinstance(o, SomeCustomClass):
+            return str(o)  # custom serialization implementation here
+
+        return super().default(o)
+```
+And then provide the import string for this class in Django setting:
+```python
+# settings.py
+
+NINJA_SIMPLE_JWT = {
+    ...,
+    "TOKEN_USER_ENCODER_CLS": "some_directory.custom_encoders.CustomTokenUserEncoder"
+}
