Use the magiclink token in REST calls about django-magiclink

[pyepye]

Hi @khashashin

This plugin was mainly built to work with templates rather than with a front-end making REST calls. Saying that it MIGHT be possible to get it work with some of the customisations available.

The first thing you would need to do is create your own login API view. This would need to take an email address and just call create_magiclink then magiclink.send() - Info here: https://github.com/pyepye/django-magiclink#creating-magiclinks

Then you would need to look at creating your own Custom login verify flow which you could use to set any Autorization headers or return a response body with a JWT token for example.

Finally I would also see if you can use the MAGICLINK_LOGIN_FAILED_REDIRECT setting incase a login fails (https://github.com/pyepye/django-magiclink#configuration-settings). I'm not sure if this setting would work with the front-end being on a different host though.

I hope that helps in some way.

Thanks
Matt

@pyepye Thank you Matt. In meantime I found another tool that is actually designed to use with DRF is called djangopasswordless. But with a little effort I think it should be also possible to achieve it with django-magiclink
