Remember that django renders templates in serverside, for this reason you can not access to the objects, however, if you need any information from the bacenkd, maybe you can render in your template some as follow (ie using a div, you can use any element that you consider necessary)

<div id="username-{{request.user}}"></div

Django will be render your template and it’ll create a div with id username-this-is-a-logged-username

or in JS for example

var logged_user_id = '{{request.user.id}}'

in your case, if you are using ajax you can add neccessary info to the response in your view,

ie, in your view

def some_view(request):
    response = {
       "user": request.user.username,
       "user_id": request.user.id,
    }
    # some view actions

    return JsonResponse(response)

and now in your JS you can access to your data

        $.ajax({
            method : "POST",
            url    : "api",
            data   : {
                email   : email,
                password: password
            },
            success: function (data) {
                clearInputs();

                // here you can access to the fields that you have defined in your view
                console.log(data["username"]);
                console.log(data["user_id"]);
            },
            error  : function (error) {
                console.log(error);
            }
        })

some_view should be the view that answers to api url
