What are Django Allauth signals and how can I use them?

Django Allauth signals are hooks that allow you to execute custom code at certain points in the authentication process. For example, you can use signals to perform actions when a user signs up or logs in.

Can you give me an example of a signal I might use?

Sure! One common signal is user_signed_up, which you can use to send a welcome email to users after they register.

How do I connect a function to that signal?

You can connect a function to the user_signed_up signal using the @receiver decorator from Django. Here's a quick example:

from allauth.account.signals import user_signed_up
from django.dispatch import receiver

@receiver(user_signed_up)
def user_signed_up_handler(request, user, **kwargs):
    # Your custom code here
    pass

Is there a way to see all available signals in Django Allauth?

Yes, you can check the Allauth documentation or the source code to find a list of all available signals and their descriptions.
