django-rest-registration 0.4.4

User registration REST API, based on django-rest-framework

Django REST Registration

User registration REST API, based on Django REST Framework.

Full documentation for the project is available at https://django-rest-registration.readthedocs.io/.

Requirements

• Django (1.10+, 2.0+) and Django-REST-Framework (3.3+)
• Python 3.4 or higher (no Python 2 support!)

Features

• Supported views:
  • registration (sign-up) with verification
  • login/logout (sign-in), session- or token-based
  • user profile (retrieving / updating)
  • reset password
  • change password
  • register (change) e-mail
• Views are compatible with django-rest-swagger
• Views can be authenticated via session or auth token
• Modeless (uses the user defined by settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL and also uses cryptographic signing instead of profile models)
• Uses password validation
• Heavily tested (Above 98% code coverage)

Current limitations

• Supports only one email per user (as model field)
• No JWT support (but you can use it along libraries like django-rest-framework-simplejwt)

Installation & Configuration

You can install Django REST Registration latest version via pip:

pip install django-rest-registration

Then, you should add it to the INSTALLED_APPS so the app templates for notification emails can be accessed:

INSTALLED_APPS=(
    ...

    'rest_registration',
)

After that, you can use the urls in your urlconfig, for instance (using new Django 2.x syntax):

api_urlpatterns = [
    ...

    path('accounts/', include('rest_registration.api.urls')),
]


urlpatterns = [
    ...

    path('api/v1/', include(api_urlpatterns)),
]

In Django 1.x you can use old url instead of path.

You can configure Django REST Registraton using the REST_REGISTRATION setting in your Django settings (similarly to Django REST Framework).

Below is sample, minimal config you can provide in your django settings which will satisfy the system checks:

REST_REGISTRATION = {
    'REGISTER_VERIFICATION_ENABLED': False,
    'RESET_PASSWORD_VERIFICATION_URL': False,
    'REGISTER_EMAIL_VERIFICATION_ENABLED': False,
}

However, the preferred base configuration would be:

REST_REGISTRATION = {
    'REGISTER_VERIFICATION_URL': 'https://frontend-host/verify-user/',
    'RESET_PASSWORD_VERIFICATION_URL': 'https://frontend-host/reset-password/',
    'REGISTER_EMAIL_VERIFICATION_URL': 'https://frontend-host/verify-email/',

    'VERIFICATION_FROM_EMAIL': '[e-mail]',
}

The frontend urls are not provided by the library but should be provided by the user of the library, because Django REST Registration is frontend-agnostic. The frontend urls will receive parameters as GET query and should pass them to corresponding REST API views via HTTP POST request.
