Quick Start

1). Install using pip:

    pip install django-authentication-service

2). Add authentication_service to your INSTALLED_APPS setting:

    INSTALLED_APPS = [
        ...
        "authentication_service",
    ]

Make sure that you have djangorestframework, djangorestframework-simplejwt and drf-yasg installed in your apps.

    INSTALLED_APPS = [
        # django installed apps
        ...
        # already added to installed_apps
        "rest_framework",
        "rest_framework.authtoken",
        "rest_framework_simplejwt",

        # this will help document the apis using either swagger or redoc
        "drf_yasg",

        # new line
        "authentication_service",
    ]

3). Configure the AUTH_USER_MODEL in the setting:

AUTH_USER_MODEL = "authentication_service.AccountUser"

4). Register the account user model to the admin; if you don't want to - set it to False:

REGISTER_USER_MODEL = True # this will show the user model on the django admin

5). In order to use the pre-built email templates, you'd have to include the name of your site (or product name) and the contact email:

AUTHENTICATION_SERVICE = {
    "site_name": "Authentication Service",
    "contact_email": "contact@authentication-service.com"
}

6). Include the authentication_service URLs in your project urls.py:

    path('auth/', include('authentication_service.urls')),

7). Run python manage.py migrate to create new migrations based on the changes on the model.

8). Start the development server:

python manage.py runserver 8080
