django-active-login-required

Yeah, it has a long name. It's useful, though.

Django's login_required decorator does not verify that an authenticated user is still an active user. This decorator will boot any deactivated users.

This decorator is simply an extention of the login_required decorator, swapping out the authentication test.

Warning: deactivated user sessions are not deleted, as Django's out-of-box sessions are not tied to its users.

Installation

Install from Pip:

$ pip install django-active-login-required

or, clone this repo.

Usage

Simply decorate your views (or class-based views via method_decoratoring dispatch) with the active_login_required view.

Make sure you've got LOGIN_URL set.

from active_login_required import active_login_required


@active_login_required
def my_view(request, ...):
    return ...

Testing

Take the tests for a run by grabbing this repo and installing py.test via requirements.txt.

Then simply

$ py.test

Presently, this has been tested with Django >= 1.6.

You can also run tox if you feel so inclined.
