Custom login process with python-social-auth

Question

I am using a very custom login process, with email/password forms there's no problem. I am using redis to store the session. I know that I can configure SESSION_ENGINE in my settings.py file and Django will do this even with python-social-auth login, but I need to write my own session key and value, because I am using jwt , I also need to do some other custom action in login process, so I have been looking for a while how to 'intercept' the login process in the python-social-auth flow, I have checked the code for every pipeline but I couldn't find out where is this happening. How can I implement a custom login with python-social-auth ?

Answer 1

You can try great django-rest-social-auth ( https://github.com/st4lk/django-rest-social-auth ) which uses python-social-auth , django-rest-framework and also djangorestframework-jwt modules (the last one implements JWT support). If it's not suits you, you can discover the code of django-rest-social-auth and djangorestframework-jwt to implement your own flow.
