Login Module

Steps to Develop a login module.

1. Create template for login module.

templates/todo/login.html

{% extends 'base/main.html' %}
{% block content %}

<div class="header-bar">
    <h1>Login</h1>
</div>

<div class="card-body">
    <form method="POST">
        {% csrf_token %}
        {{form.as_p}}
        {% if form.errors %}
        <ul class="errorlist">
            {% for field, error_list in form.errors.items %}
            {% for error in error_list %}
            <span class="aesthetic-span">{{ error }}</span>
            {% endfor %}
            {% endfor %}
        </ul>
        {% endif %}
        <input class="button" type="submit" value="Login">
    </form>
<!-- <p>Don't have an account? <a href="{% url 'register' %}">Register</a></p> -->
    <p>Don't have an account? <a href="">Register</a></p>
</div>

{% endblock content %}

2. Create view function for login module

from django.contrib.auth.views import LoginView

class CustomLoginView(LoginView):
    template_name = 'todo/login.html'
    redirect_authenticated_user = True
    
    def get_success_url(self):
        return reverse_lazy('home')

you are creating a CustomLoginView class that inherits from LoginView, and you are specifying a custom template for the login page by setting the template_name attribute to 'todo/login.html'.

This means that when a user accesses the login page associated with this view, Django will render the HTML content from the 'todo/login.html' template.

3. Mapping URLs to login view.

Make sure you have the necessary URLs and other configurations in place to use this custom login view. For example, in your urls.py file, you might have something like:

from django.urls import path


from .views import CustomLoginView, Home

urlpatterns = [
    path('login/', CustomLoginView.as_view(), name='login'),
    # Add other URL patterns as needed
]

4. Run the development server to check the functionality:

Start the development server if it's not running already:

python manage.py runserver

Access the interface by visiting http://localhost:8000/login in your web browser.
