Installation ============ 1. Install package: .. code-block:: python pip install django-rest-auth 2. Add ``rest_auth`` app to INSTALLED_APPS in your django settings.py: .. code-block:: python INSTALLED_APPS = ( ..., 'rest_framework', 'rest_framework.authtoken', ..., 'rest_auth' ) .. note:: This project depends on ``django-rest-framework`` library, so install it if you haven't done yet. Make sure also you have installed ``rest_framework`` and ``rest_framework.authtoken`` apps 3. Add rest_auth urls: .. code-block:: python urlpatterns = patterns('', ..., url(r'^rest-auth/', include('rest_auth.urls')) ) You're good to go now! Registration (optional) ----------------------- 1. If you want to enable standard registration process you will need to install ``django-allauth`` by using ``pip install django-rest-auth[with_social]``. 2. Add ``django.contrib.sites``, ``allauth``, ``allauth.account`` and ``rest_auth.registration`` apps to INSTALLED_APPS in your django settings.py: 3. Add ``SITE_ID = 1`` to your django settings.py .. code-block:: python INSTALLED_APPS = ( ..., 'django.contrib.sites', 'allauth', 'allauth.account', 'rest_auth.registration', ) SITE_ID = 1 3. Add rest_auth.registration urls: .. code-block:: python urlpatterns = patterns('', ..., url(r'^rest-auth/', include('rest_auth.urls')), url(r'^rest-auth/registration/', include('rest_auth.registration.urls')) ) Social Authentication (optional) -------------------------------- Using ``django-allauth``, ``django-rest-auth`` provides helpful class for creating social media authentication view. .. note:: Points 1 and 2 are related to ``django-allauth`` configuration, so if you have already configured social authentication, then please go to step 3. See ``django-allauth`` documentation for more details. 1. Add ``allauth.socialaccount`` and ``allauth.socialaccount.providers.facebook`` or ``allauth.socialaccount.providers.twitter`` apps to INSTALLED_APPS in your django settings.py: .. code-block:: python INSTALLED_APPS = ( ..., 'rest_framework', 'rest_framework.authtoken', 'rest_auth' ..., 'django.contrib.sites', 'allauth', 'allauth.account', 'rest_auth.registration', ..., 'allauth.socialaccount', 'allauth.socialaccount.providers.facebook', 'allauth.socialaccount.providers.twitter', ) 2. Add Social Application in django admin panel Facebook ######## 3. Create new view as a subclass of ``rest_auth.registration.views.SocialLoginView`` with ``FacebookOAuth2Adapter`` adapter as an attribute: .. code-block:: python from allauth.socialaccount.providers.facebook.views import FacebookOAuth2Adapter from rest_auth.registration.views import SocialLoginView class FacebookLogin(SocialLoginView): adapter_class = FacebookOAuth2Adapter 4. Create url for FacebookLogin view: .. code-block:: python urlpatterns += patterns('', ..., url(r'^rest-auth/facebook/$', FacebookLogin.as_view(), name='fb_login') ) Twitter ####### If you are using Twitter for your social authentication, it is a bit different since Twitter uses OAuth 1.0. 3. Create new view as a subclass of ``rest_auth.views.LoginView`` with ``TwitterOAuthAdapter`` adapter and ``TwitterLoginSerializer`` as an attribute: .. code-block:: python from allauth.socialaccount.providers.twitter.views import TwitterOAuthAdapter from rest_auth.views import LoginView from rest_auth.social_serializers import TwitterLoginSerializer class TwitterLogin(LoginView): serializer_class = TwitterLoginSerializer adapter_class = TwitterOAuthAdapter 4. Create url for TwitterLogin view: .. code-block:: python urlpatterns += patterns('', ..., url(r'^rest-auth/twitter/$', TwitterLogin.as_view(), name='twitter_login') ) .. note:: Starting from v0.21.0, django-allauth has dropped support for context processors. Check out http://django-allauth.readthedocs.org/en/latest/changelog.html#from-0-21-0 for more details. JWT Support (optional) ---------------------- By default, ``django-rest-auth`` uses Django's Token-based authentication. If you want to use JWT authentication, you need to install the following: 1. Install ``django-rest-framework-jwt`` http://getblimp.github.io/django-rest-framework-jwt/ . Right now this is the only supported JWT library. 2. Add the following to your settings .. code-block:: python REST_USE_JWT = True
