Getting Started 📝

bash

pip install django-allauth

Project Setup 💡

Add 'allauth', 'allauth.account', and 'allauth.socialaccount' to your INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py.

python

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ...
    'allauth',
    'allauth.account',
    'allauth.socialaccount',
    # ...
]

URL Configuration 💡

In your project's urls.py, include the following:

python

from django.urls import path
from allauth.urls import socialaccount_urlpatterns

urlpatterns = [
    # ...
    path('accounts/', include('allauth.urls')),
    path('accounts/social/', socialaccount_urlpatterns, name='socialaccount_urls'),
    # ...
]

Customizing User Model 📝

Django-allauth works with Django's built-in User model and third-party user models like Django-Guardian. If you're using a custom user model, make sure it extends AbstractUser or AbstractBaseUser.

Registration, Login, and Logout 💡

Now, navigate to your browser and visit http://localhost:8000/accounts/signup/. You can register a new user!

For login and logout, visit http://localhost:8000/accounts/login/ and http://localhost:8000/accounts/logout/, respectively.

Social Accounts 💡

Django-allauth supports third-party login providers like Google, Facebook, and GitHub. To enable, go to settings.py and add the desired providers to SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS.

python

SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS = {
    'google': {
        'SCOPE': [
            'profile',
            'email',
        ],
        'AUTH_PARAMS': {
            'access_type': 'online',
        },
    }
    # Add more providers as needed
}
