django-guest-user

A Django app that allows visitors to interact with your site as a guest user without requiring registration.

Largely inspired by django-lazysignup and rewritten for Django 3.1+ and Python 3.7+.

Find the complete documentation on Read the Docs.

Quickstart

Install the django-guest-user package
Add guest_user to your INSTALLED_APPS and migrate your database
Add guest_user.backends.GuestBackend to your AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS
Include guest_user.urls in your URLs

Decorate your views with @allow_guest_user:

from guest_user.decorators import allow_guest_user

@allow_guest_user
def my_view(request):
    assert request.user.is_authenticated
    return render(request, "my_view.html")

Status

This project is still under development. But thanks to previous work it is largely functional.

I decided to rewrite the project since the original project hasn't seen any larger updates for a few years now. The initial code base was written a long time ago as well.
