What are some examples of authentication views in Django?

Django provides several built-in authentication views. For example, you can use LoginView, LogoutView, and PasswordChangeView. Would you like to see code examples for any of these?

Yes, can you show me an example of the LoginView?

Sure! Here's a simple example of using LoginView in your Django project:

from django.contrib.auth.views import LoginView

urlpatterns = [
    path('login/', LoginView.as_view(), name='login'),
]

This will create a login page at the /login/ URL. You can customize the template by specifying template_name in the view.

How can I customize the login template?

You can customize the login template by creating a file named registration/login.html in your templates directory. Then, specify the template_name in the LoginView like this:

LoginView.as_view(template_name='registration/login.html')

What about the LogoutView?

The LogoutView can be used similarly. Here's an example:

from django.contrib.auth.views import LogoutView

urlpatterns = [
    path('logout/', LogoutView.as_view(), name='logout'),
]

This will log the user out and redirect them to the homepage by default.
