# Social Authentication with Django Allauth ## Introduction This guide focuses on integrating social authentication into a Django project using Django Allauth. We'll configure Google OAuth, Facebook, and GitHub as authentication providers. ## Getting Started To set up social authentication with Django Allauth, follow these steps: 1. **Installation**: - Make sure Python is installed. - Install Django and Django Allauth using pip: ```bash pip install django django-allauth ``` 2. **Configuration**: - Add `'allauth'` and `'allauth.account'` to your `INSTALLED_APPS` in `settings.py`. - Include `'allauth.account.auth_backends.AuthenticationBackend'` in `AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS`. - Configure Django Allauth settings in `settings.py`, providing credentials for social apps: ```python SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS = { 'google': { 'APP': { 'client_id': 'YOUR_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID', 'secret': 'YOUR_GOOGLE_SECRET', } }, 'facebook': { 'APP': { 'client_id': 'YOUR_FACEBOOK_CLIENT_ID', 'secret': 'YOUR_FACEBOOK_SECRET', } }, 'github': { 'APP': { 'client_id': 'YOUR_GITHUB_CLIENT_ID', 'secret': 'YOUR_GITHUB_SECRET', } }, # Add other providers if needed } ``` ## Build and Test TODO: Describe how to build your code and run the tests. ## Contribute TODO: Explain how others can contribute to improving your code. Consider security aspects of Django Allauth's social authentication.
