I am building a single page javascript app using dart, what are the recommended ways to handle user authentication and registration?
Take a look at http://code.google.com/p/google-api-dart-client/ for information about using oAuth with Dart.
I noticed that you tagged this with django. I'm assuming then that you are using Django in some way. If that is the case, can you not use the authentication provided by Django itself?
There is now the easy to use Google OAuth2 Library, which you can get from Pub.
Here is a great guide on how to use the package from Dartwatch.

I want to get my head down into a small community website using Django Rest Framework as a backend and Next.JS as a frontend. I am struggling with the authentication module.
What is best practice? I thought about using Firebase as an auth provider but the implementation is quite hard - or at least I could not find good documentation.
I am now thinking of using the Djoser library to have django handle all authentication and user management.
My question is: What would you recommend to use? The official DRF website has a ton of third-party packages on this topic but I just can decide which one to use (https://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/authentication/#third-party-packages)
You can use Next Auth to handle JWT authentication.
If you are using Token authentication (rest_framework.authtoken), you can store the token in localStorage and inject the token using axios.interceptors.request.use for axios, or create a custom fetch method that injects said token in your fetch headers.
I want to use Django Rest Framework to create RESTAPI to integrate with the payment gateway API like stripe. For the frontend part I can only see project using React for the frontend. Cant i use Django as a frontend?
Looking for suggestions if i really just need to use React or Vue. Or is it possible to use django as frontend as well.
Looking for your suggestions. Thank you.
To use Stripe in Django, you may refer to this package https://github.com/dj-stripe/dj-stripe which supports Stripe out-of-the box specific for Django
For replacing React with Django for front-end, it is possible and you can use Django template, however, it depends on your use-case.
I am building a web app with a Django backend and React/Redux frontend running on separate servers. I have begun to try and start working on authentication and I cannot find a tutorial that suits my needs. Every tutorial either uses deprecated modules like drf-jwt (as opposed to simple-jwt) or has a simple mono-server that houses both the backend and the frontend in one directory. The former is useless and I do not want to do the latter as I like having the two separate servers for when I move on to deployment. Now can someone direct me to a good source of knowledge for getting this done? It doesn't have to be a tutorial it can be anything. I am really lost and I do not know how to begin.
you can use 3rd party packages djoser: Provides a set of views to handle basic actions such as registration, login, logout, password reset and account activation. for more information: https://pypi.org/project/djoser/
I'm using token authentication from Django Rest Framework so, after a login/password verification, the token on response can be used on any DRF endpoint.
I'm writing a webapp that heavily uses the StackExchange API. I'm currently using OpenID authentication but given the only people that will use the site will be SE members, I've been wondering if there's a library for Django (or Python, in general) that can handle the login process for me.
I'm specifically thinking of something that slots into the process like the django_openid_auth project does.
Look at django-allauth. The supported authentication providers are:
Facebook (both OAuth2 and JS SDK)
Github
Google (OAuth2)
LinkedIn
OpenId
Persona
SoundCloud (OAuth2)
Stack Exchange (OAuth2)
Twitter
You can use django-allauth for signup/login process as it supports Stack Exchange OAuth2.
Since your app heavily uses StackExchange API, you should consider using Py-StackExchange along with django-allauth. Please have a look at FAQ and it's API support for StackExchange.
You have Py-StackExchange, perfect for using from Python. Check out the code at GitHub or its page at StackApps.
Added after Oli's comment
For managing login/registration there are some good working projects. You can read a good review of 4 of the most common libraries at hackerluddite. Django-social-auth and django-allauth are likely the most complete, stable and used.
I want to use social-auth to provide registration/authentication via social network sites. I have been trying to understand how to use social-auth, but I have been unable to get beyond installing dependencies and configuring backends.
I am basically new to Django and I have tried hard to understand before posting on the forum. Maybe because I am not very familiar with it that is why I have been unsuccessful. Can anybody please point me to a tutorial on how to use social-auth. This will also help me in integrating other apps.
Update:
Although the answer given below solved my problem, I just want to share that I ended up using django-allauth instead of social-auth. And the latest version of django-allauth appears to be the best Django authentication app.
It's somehow unclear from documentation.
You need to create apps in Twitter/Facebook/whatever you want to use.
If you want twitter see: https://dev.twitter.com/apps/new
If you want facebook: https://developers.facebook.com/apps
They will give you api key and api secret.
Follow these basic steps that refer to socialauth docs:
pip install
add social-auth to installed apps
copy AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS
fill api key and api secret
add social auth url patterns
configure authentication and association complete URL names (SOCIAL_AUTH_COMPLETE_URL_NAME)
context processor
syncdb
Now, what the documentation doesn't tell you, is to put links in your login template:
Login with Twitter
Should work.
