Django REST Framework Auth

A custom authentication system for the Django REST Framework aka DRF. This is built around a custom User model. It exposes the following routes:

login/
logout/
register/
reset/create/
reset/activate/<str:token>/

Follow these steps to run the app locally:

  • Clone the repository
  • cd drf_auth
  • virtualenv env
  • source env/bin/activate
  • pip install -r requirements.txt
  • Open up settings.py and set proper values for EMAIL_HOST_USER and EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD
  • cd api
  • ./manage.py runserver
  • Now create a user from the register/ endpoint. register/ expects a username, email and a password.
{
  POST  register/
  
  "username": "username",
  "email": "id@e.mail",
  "password": "password"
}
  • To reset password make a post request with the registered username to reset/create/. You should get an activation link in your email.
{
  POST  reset/create/
  
  "username": "username"
}
  • Make a post request with the new password to reset/activate/<str:token>/. Now try to login with your new password.
{
  POST  reset/activate/<str:token>/
  
  "password": "password"
}
