How can I add a facebook user login functionality

Question

My python version is 3.4.3 and my django version is 1.9.6 . I tried many django facebook registrations apps but almost all the versions are outdated.

What I want is to allow users to login via facebook and check if their friends are registered to my website. Your help would be very much appreciated!

Answer 1

If you are trying to develop a Web-Application and use FaceBook login, register as a facebook developer (it is free) and then go through their instructions. It is completely self-explanatory and quite easy to follow.

Visit : developers.facebook.com for clear way of how to do this.

Answer 2

There's a package for Django third party auth that is well maintained, Django-allauth:

https://readthedocs.org/projects/django-allauth/

I use it for Facebook, Twitter and Google auth methods.

There is also a good step by step tutorial:

The tutorial walks through Facebook as an example. It is slightly out of date but still works. Facebook has tweaked their interface since it was written. Good luck!

Answer 3

https://djangopackages.org/grids/g/facebook-authentication/

you can choose from this list of django packages available, based on your requirement. If you are planning to integrate other social site logins in future then go with django-allauth or django-social-auth .
