tc-django-quick-auth 0.1.1

A reusable Django package for quick login and signup endpoints with optional JWT authentication

Django Quick Auth

A reusable Django package that provides quick and easy authentication endpoints for login and signup functionality with optional JWT authentication support. Simplify your Django project's authentication system without writing boilerplate code.

Features

• Ready-to-use login and signup endpoints
• Optional JWT authentication support
• Customizable user model
• Easy integration with existing Django projects
• Fully configurable through settings

Installation

pip install tc-django-quick-auth

Important Note: While the package is installed as tc-django-quick-auth, you'll reference it in your Python code and Django settings as django_quick_auth. This follows Python package conventions where PyPI package names use hyphens, but Python module names use underscores.

Configuration

1. Add to INSTALLED_APPS

Add django_quick_auth to your INSTALLED_APPS in your Django project's settings:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ...
    'django_quick_auth', 
]

2. Configure User Model (Optional)

If you want to use the custom QuickAuthUser model provided by this package, add this to your settings:

AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'django_quick_auth.QuickAuthUser'

Note: If you're adding this to an existing project that already has migrations with the default Django User model, you'll need to create a migration strategy or start with a fresh database.

3. URL Configuration

Include the authentication URLs in your project's urls.py:

from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [
    # ...
    path('api/auth/', include('django_quick_auth.urls')),
    # ...
]

4. JWT Configuration (Optional)

If you want to use JWT authentication, configure the JWT settings in your project settings:

# JWT Settings
QUICK_AUTH = {
    'USE_JWT': True,
    'JWT_SECRET_KEY': 'your-secret-key',  
    'JWT_ALGORITHM': 'HS256',
    'JWT_EXPIRATION_DELTA': 24 * 60 * 60,  # Token expiry time in seconds (24 hours)
    'JWT_REFRESH_EXPIRATION_DELTA': 7 * 24 * 60 * 60,  # Refresh token expiry time in seconds (7 days)
}

5. Run Migrations

After configuring your settings, run migrations to create the necessary database tables:

python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate

Usage

Authentication Endpoints

Once configured, the package provides the following endpoints:

• POST /api/auth/signup/ - Register a new user

  {
    "username": "newuser",
    "email": "[e-mail]",
    "password": "securepassword"
  }
  

• POST /api/auth/login/ - Login with existing credentials

  {
    "username": "existinguser",
    "password": "securepassword"
  }
  

JWT Authentication

If JWT is enabled, successful login/signup will return:

{
  "token": "your.jwt.token",
  "refresh_token": "your.refresh.token",
  "user": {
    "id": 1,
    "username": "username",
    "email": "[e-mail]"
  }
}

Customization

Custom User Fields

You can extend the QuickAuthUser model by creating your own model that inherits from it:

from django_quick_auth.models import QuickAuthUser
from django.db import models

class MyCustomUser(QuickAuthUser):
    phone_number = models.CharField(max_length=15, blank=True)
    date_of_birth = models.DateField(null=True, blank=True)

    # Don't forget to update AUTH_USER_MODEL in settings to point to your custom model

Custom Serializers

You can override the default serializers by specifying them in your settings:

QUICK_AUTH = {
    # Other settings...
    'USER_SERIALIZER': 'myapp.serializers.MyCustomUserSerializer',
    'LOGIN_SERIALIZER': 'myapp.serializers.MyCustomLoginSerializer',
    'SIGNUP_SERIALIZER': 'myapp.serializers.MyCustomSignupSerializer',
}
