=============================
django-class-based-auth-views
=============================

related packages
================

* `django-password-reset `_ has class based views to reset
forgotten passwords by email confirmation.

A reimplementation of ``django.contrib.auth.views`` as class based views. Hopefully at some point this project or
something similar will make it into django proper.

Currently ``LoginView`` and ``LogoutView`` are implemented.

Installation
============

::

pip install django-class-based-auth-views

Basic usage
===========

Instead of including ``django.contrib.auth.login`` into your ``urls.py``, just use the one provided by this project.
``urls.py``::

from class_based_auth_views.views import LoginView, LogoutView
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^login/$', LoginView.as_view(form_class=EmailAsUsernameAuthenticationForm), name="login"),
url(r'^logout/$', LogoutView.as_view(), name="logout"),
)

Be aware that the logout view requires a ``POST`` to actually logout. So the ``registration/logout.html`` template
should contain a form with a submit button.

Extending LoginView Example
===========================

Now that LoginView is based on generic class based views it is much easier to extend. Say you need to implement a
2 step login procedure with a one time password::

from django.contrib.auth import login

class PhaseOneLoginView(LoginView):
def form_valid(self, form):
"""
Forces superusers to login in a 2 step process (One Time Password). Other users are logged in normally
"""
user = form.get_user()
if user.is_superuser:
self.save_user(user)
return HttpResponseRedirect(self.get_phase_two_url())
else:
login(self.request, user)
return HttpResponseRedirect(self.get_success_url())

def get_phase_two_url(self):
return reverse('phase_two_login')

def save_user(self, user):
self.request.session['otp_user'] = user

class PhaseTwoLoginView(FormView):
form_class = OTPTokenForm

def get_user(self):
return self.request.session.get('otp_user', None)

def clean_user(self):
if 'otp_user' in self.request.session:
del self.request.session['otp_user']

def form_valid(self, form):
code = form.cleaned_data.get('code')
user = self.get_user()
login(request, user)
