Email verification and password reset - django rest framework and angularjs

Question

How do I implement the built in views for password-reset in the django.rest.auth and how do I create an email verification system for registration using the django rest framework and angularjs?

I have been searching for a tutorial or some good documentation that on how to implement django's send_email function in a website using the django rest framework and angular js but I haven't been able to find any.

What I need...

• when a new user registers a url must be generated for them to confirm their email address
• this url must be automatically sent to the user's given email
• after the user is sent to this link and confirms their email address their status must be changed from new_user.is_active = False to new_user.is_active = True

What I have...

• registration form that sends a post request to my register endpoint
  • the new user data is then unpacked, validated, and saved in my register view

• in settings.py i have added this...

   EMAIL_USE_TLS = True EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com' EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'myemail@gmail.com' EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'mypassword' EMAIL_PORT = 587

• in my urls.py i have added this...

   from django.conf.urls import url from rest_auth.views import PasswordResetView, PasswordResetConfirmView urlpatterns = [ url(r'^password/reset/$', PasswordResetView.as_view(), name='password_reset'), url(r'^password/reset/confirm/$', PasswordResetConfirmView.as_view(), name='password_reset_confirm'), ]

So my question is how do I implement these views and urls to my project and how to I create email confirmation using the from django.core.mail import send_mail

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

After the user fills the registration form you could ask for a verification code. This verification code will be sent to the email address provided in the registration form. On correctly entering the verification code you can set the users to active.
