FAQ¶
Why account_confirm_email url is defined but it is not usable?
In /dj_rest_auth/registration/urls.py we can find something like this:
url(r'^account-confirm-email/(?P<key>[-:\w]+)/$', TemplateView.as_view(), name='account_confirm_email'),
This url is used by django-allauth. Empty TemplateView is defined just to allow reverse() call inside app - when email with verification link is being sent.
You should override this view/url to handle it in your API client somehow and then, send post to /verify-email/ endpoint with proper key. If you don’t want to use API on that step, then just use ConfirmEmailView view from: django-allauth https://github.com/pennersr/django-allauth/blob/master/allauth/account/views.py
I get an error: Reverse for ‘password_reset_confirm’ not found.
You need to add password_reset_confirm url into your
urls.py
(at the top of any other included urls). Please check theurls.py
module inside demo app example for more details.How can I update UserProfile assigned to User model?
Assuming you already have UserProfile model defined like this
from django.db import models from django.contrib.auth.models import User class UserProfile(models.Model): user = models.OneToOneField(User, related_name='userprofile') # custom fields for user company_name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
To allow update user details within one request send to dj_rest_auth.views.UserDetailsView view, create serializer like this:
from rest_framework import serializers from dj_rest_auth.serializers import UserDetailsSerializer class UserProfileSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): class Meta: model = UserProfile fields = ('company_name',) class UserSerializer(UserDetailsSerializer): profile = UserProfileSerializer(source="userprofile") class Meta(UserDetailsSerializer.Meta): fields = UserDetailsSerializer.Meta.fields + ('profile',) def update(self, instance, validated_data): userprofile_serializer = self.fields['profile'] userprofile_instance = instance.userprofile userprofile_data = validated_data.pop('userprofile', {}) # to access the 'company_name' field in here # company_name = userprofile_data.get('company_name') # update the userprofile fields userprofile_serializer.update(userprofile_instance, userprofile_data) instance = super().update(instance, validated_data) return instance
And setup USER_DETAILS_SERIALIZER in django settings:
REST_AUTH_SERIALIZERS = { 'USER_DETAILS_SERIALIZER': 'demo.serializers.UserSerializer' }
