In the preceding chapter, you learned how to create sitemaps and feeds and built a search engine for your blog application. In this chapter, you will develop a social application. You will create a functionality for users to log in, log out, edit, and reset their password. You will learn how to create a custom profile for your users, and you will add social authentication to your site.
This chapter will cover the following topics:
- Using the Django authentication framework
- Creating user registration views
- Extending the user model with a custom profile model
- Adding social authentication with python-social-auth
Let's start by creating our new project.
