Custom Authentication For Django.

Working With Django? Need User Authentication?

No Need To Write The Same Old Code Again and Again. Use This Instead!

User Guide

Everything is ready to roll. Just add your app folder inside the project or start a new one with the following command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

python manage.py startapp <your_app_name>

And add it to the settings.py file.

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'accounts',
    'guest_user',
    <your_app_name>
]

Add .env file to the root of your project.

Add SECRET_KEY variable to the the .env file.

SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key

Finally, run the following command:

python manage.py migrate

Or If You Want To Add It To Your Own Project. Follow The Following Instructions:

Install requirements.txt.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Copy the accounts folder and paste it to your project.

Install them on your project as well as the guest_user module for Guest-Login functionality.

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'accounts',
    'guest_user',
    ...
]

Add the following line into the AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = [
   "django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend",
   # it should be the last entry to prevent unauthorized access
   "guest_user.backends.GuestBackend", #new line
]

Add url routing in urls.py for the guest and user authentication applications.

urlpatterns = [
   # ... other patterns
   path("accounts/", include("accounts.urls")),
   path("guest/", include("guest_user.urls")),
]

Last but not least, prepare the guest user table by running migrations.

python manage.py migrate
