I have this function based view which works perfectly but I would like to convert to a class based view but am stuck on how to do this:

This is my fbv:

def loginView(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = LoginForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
cd = form.cleaned_data
user = authenticate(request,
email=cd['email'],
password=cd['password'])

if user is not None:
login(request, user)
if user.is_authenticated and user.is_client:
return redirect('clients:detail') # Go to client dashboard
elif user.is_authenticated and user.is_account_manager:
return redirect('accountmanagers:detail') #Go to account manager dashboard
else:
return HttpResponse('Invalid login')
else:
# Invalid email or password. Handle as you wish
form = LoginForm()

return render(request, 'registration/login.html', {'form': form})

I would appreciate any help.

I think it's good, function based views offer you more flexibility. If you are not liking your code it's because your function should be split up into smaller functions, or use a class without it being a view.
