Form to login

[Dariusz Mysior]

I try do login view and I find it on

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/auth/default/

from django.contrib.auth import authenticate, login

def my_view(request):
    username = request.POST['username']
    password = request.POST['password']
    user = authenticate(username=username, password=password)
    if user is not None:
        if user.is_active:
            login(request, user)
            # Redirect to a success page.
        else:
            # Return a 'disabled account' error message
            ...
    else:
        # Return an 'invalid login' error message.
        ...

to give request.POST username and password and username I must create my own form or maybe Django have that form ready? I use Django 1.8

Django do have built-in forms. Take a look here https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/auth/default/#module-django.contrib.auth.forms

Looks like you are not making anything very custom on you view so maybe would be easier/better to use the buitin views from django auth.

on your urls.py you can do:

from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views

urlpatterns = [

    ...

    url(r'^login/', auth_views.login),

]

On your settings.py:
LOGIN_URL = '/login' #the global address of the login page(loguin_required decorators, etc will redirect to here)

NEXT_PAGE = '/home' #page the user is redirected after login
