Project description

This is an easy to include library that takes care of managing the reset password part of your application. It offers 3 endpoints used for creating, validating and submitting the password change. The user if offered the liberty to chose how the reset password link is sent to the user and where it will redirect the user.

Requirements

Python >= 3.7 Django >=3.0

We highly recommend and only officially support the latest patch release of each Python and Django series

Installation

The command to install the package from pypi using pip:

` pip install drf-reset-password `

Add reset-password to your INSTALLED_APPS in settings

INSTALLED_APPS=[
    ...,
    'reset_password',
    ]

Configuration

You can configure the library from the variable DRF_RESET_EMAIL that you will set in your settings.

{
    'RESET_PASSWORD_EMAIL_TITLE': 'Reset Password',
    'RESET_PASSWORD_EMAIL_TEMPLATE': 'reset_email.html',
    'EMAIL_EXPIRATION_TIME': 24,
    'REDIRECT_LINK': 'dsa',
    'APP_NAME': 'test',
    'EMAIL_PROVIDER': 'reset_password.models.EmailProvider',
    'CONTENT_PROVIDER': 'reset_password.models.DefaultContentProvider',
    'EMAIL_FIELD': 'email',
}

RESET_PASSWORD_EMAIL_TITLE - Sets the title of the email sent. RESET_PASSWORD_EMAIL_TITLE is on default on Reset Password.

RESET_PASSWORD_EMAIL_TEMPLATE - You can change the default template with your own template.``RESET_PASSWORD_EMAIL_TEMPLATE`` is on default on our default template.

EMAIL_EXPIRATION_TIME - The amount of time it takes for the email to expire. EMAIL_EXPIRATION_TIME is on default on 24 hours.

REDIRECT_LINK - The url of your redirect link inside the email (you can access it inside your own template with the variable link).

APP_NAME - The name of you app that will be mentioned inside the email.

EMAIL_PROVIDER - The class which will be called to send the email (The class has to extend the class EmailProvider and implement the method send_email).

EMAIL_FIELD - This is the field on the user that contains the email. If you are using django a user model you should always have it on email. EMAIL_FIELD is on default on email.

CONTENT_PROVIDER - The class which will be called to build the content of the email (The class has to extend the class ContentProvider and implement the method make_content.). If none set, a DefaultContentProvider will be set, creating content with the above specified details (template, link, etc.).

Template Creation

This is an example on how your template should look we give you 3 variables that you can access. Which are app_name, link and email (this is the email of the user which had his password changed).

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Hello,</p>
  <p>Follow this link to reset your {{ app_name }} password for your {{ email }} account.</p>
  <p><a href='{{ link }}'>{{ link }}%</a></p>
  <p>If you didn’t ask to reset your password, you can contact us.</p>
  <p>Thanks,</p>
  <p>Your {{ app_name }} team</p>
</body>
</html>

Final steps for set up

When you are done with configuring your reset_password app you can add it to your urls and start making calls.

from django.conf.urls import url
from django.urls import include
from rest_framework import routers
from reset_password.views import ResetPasswordView

router = routers.DefaultRouter(trailing_slash=False)
router.register("reset-password", ResetPasswordView, basename="reset_password")
urlpatterns = [
    ...,
    url(r"^", include(router.urls)),
]

Endpoints

The app has 3 endpoints: one for generating the email for reset password, one for validating the token inside the email and one for changing the password.

Create Endpoint

This endpoint receives the email address and creates and calls for the EMAIL_PROVIDER to send the email to the user.

reset-password/ -> POST
{
  "email": "example@google.com"
}

It has an empty response with 201 if successful and 400 if email is not valid.

Token Validation

This endpoint receives the token through the query param token and it verifies if it is valid.

reset-password/token-validation -> POST
{

}

It has an empty response with 200 if successful and 400 if token is not valid.

Change Password

This endpoint receives the token through the query param token and it verifies if it is valid. and then changes the user’s password with the one sent in the body

reset-password/submit -> POST
{
  "password": "password"
}

It has an empty response with 200 if successful and 400 if token is not valid or the password sent.

Good luck using it and if you have any question or suggestions please contact us
