django-login-required-middleware

django-login-required-middleware provide login to all requests through middleware.

If the website has many views and almost all use LoginRequiredMixin or the login_required decorator, using django-login-required can keep the code of your views more clear and avoids forgetting authentication of view.

Requirements

• Python 3.8 to 3.10 supported.
• Django 3.2 to 4.1 supported.

Quick start

1. Install pip install django-login-required-middleware

2. Add login_required.middleware.LoginRequiredMiddleware to MIDDLEWARE after django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware

3. (Optional) To ignore authentication in a view uses decorato @login_not_required for FBV or LoginNotRequiredMixin for CBV:

   from login_required import login_not_required
   
   @login_not_required
   def my_view(request):
       return HttpResponse()

   or

   from login_required import LoginNotRequiredMixin
   
   class MyView(LoginNotRequiredMixin, View):
       def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
           return HttpResponse()

4. (Optional) Add LOGIN_REQUIRED_IGNORE_PATHS setting. Any requests which match these paths will be ignored. This setting should be a list filled with regex paths (settings.LOGIN_URL always included).

   Example:

   LOGIN_REQUIRED_IGNORE_PATHS = [
       r'/accounts/logout/$',
       r'/accounts/signup/$',
       r'/admin/$',
       r'/about/$'
   ]

5. (Optional) Add LOGIN_REQUIRED_IGNORE_VIEW_NAMES setting. Any requests which match these url name will be ignored. This setting should be a list filled with url names.

   Example:

   LOGIN_REQUIRED_IGNORE_VIEW_NAMES = [
       'home',
       'admin:index',
       'admin:login',
       'namespace:url_name',
   ]

6. (Optional) Add LOGIN_REQUIRED_REDIRECT_FIELD_NAME setting. This will be passed to Django's redirect_to_login(). Default is 'next'.

   Example:

   LOGIN_REQUIRED_REDIRECT_FIELD_NAME = 'next_url'
