django-device-tracker 0.1.2

Reusable device tracking app for Django projects

Django Device Tracker

A reusable Django app to track user login devices — plug-and-play for any Django project using session or JWT-based authentication.

---

🔧 Features

• Track IP address and user-agent per login
• Compatible with JWT (e.g., simplejwt)
• Saves login timestamp and refresh token jti
• Admin panel support
• Lightweight, no external dependencies

---

📦 Installation

pip install django-device-tracker

Add to your INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS += ["device_tracker"]

Apply migrations:

python manage.py migrate device_tracker

---

🚀 Usage

Manual tracking per login (JWT):

In your login/signup/OTP views:

from device_tracker.utils import track_device

# After creating refresh token:
track_device(request, user, refresh_token)

The refresh_token is optional but strongly recommended for managing sessions.

What it stores:

• user: ForeignKey to your user model
• ip_address: Auto-resolved from request headers
• device_name: User-Agent header
• refresh_token_jti: Extracted from token if provided
• last_seen: Timestamp of login
• is_active: Boolean flag (you can control this)

---

🛠 Admin Support

Device tracking entries are available in Django admin under Device model.

---

🔍 Advanced Integration Ideas (Optional)

• Custom middleware to track every request or session
• Show user active devices (build your own API/view)
• Revoke session by removing device entry or blacklisting token
