Lilywd/django-rest-allauth

This repository demonstrates how to implement a Django REST-based authentication system with the django-allauth and dj-rest-auth packages.

Django REST-based Authentication

The repository is split into two branches:

1. master -- basic authentication + social authentication
2. basic -- basic authentication only

If you do not wish to use social authentication make sure to switch to the basic branch.

1. Fork/Clone

2. Create and activate a virtual environment:

   $ python3 -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate

3. Install the requirements:

   (venv)$ pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Apply the migrations:

   (venv)$ python manage.py migrate

5. Enter your SMTP settings in core/settings.py file:

   EMAIL_BACKEND = "django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend"
   EMAIL_HOST = "<your email host>"
   EMAIL_USE_TLS = False
   EMAIL_PORT = "<your email port>"
   EMAIL_HOST_USER = "<your email user>"
   EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = "<your email password>"
   DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = "<your default from email>"

6. Register your app on Google and take note of your client ID and secret.

7. Enter the client IDs and secrets in core/settings.py respectively:

   SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS = {
       "google": {
           "APP": {
