djangoemailcertify 1.1

Project Description
email_verification is a django package that verifies a user's email on registration.

An email is sent to registered users to verify their email before login.
All users that are not verified after 24hrs will be automatically deleted from the database.

Installation
pip install django-email-certify

Setup
After a successful installation, you will need to setup your django project to use the package. Follow the steps below to do that.
First, we need to add email_verification to our project's INSTALLED_APPS
# settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = [
# ...other apps
"email_verification.apps.EmailVerificationConfig",
]

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = "smtp.gmail.com"
EMAIL_PORT = 465
EMAIL_HOST_USER = "your_email_user"
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = "your_email_password"
EMAIL_USE_SSL = True
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = "Default<no_reply@domain.com>"

LOGIN_URL = "" # ensure to set this

Next, we will add the url configuration for our package.
# urls.py

urlpatterns = [
# ...other urls
path("verify-email/", include("email_verification.urls")),
]

python manage.py migrate

Next, we'll need to handle inactive user deletion for our project. To do that, we will be adding some configuration to our wsgi.py file
# wsgi.py

from threading import Thread

application = get_wsgi_application() # already in code

# this should come after the get_wsgi_application() object
from email_verification.views import delete_inactive_users

t = Thread(target=delete_inactive_users)
t.start()

That's all for the configurations. Next up, we will be using verifying our users using a django form
# views.py

from email_verification.views import VerifyEmail

def signup(request):
form = RegisterForm() # create your form class
if request.method == "POST":
form = RegisterForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
VerifyEmail(request, form)

return redirect("redirect_url")

return render(request, "register.html", {"form": form})
