How to prevent user to access login page in django when already logged in?
You can use this decorator as well.
def login_excluded(redirect_to):
""" This decorator kicks authenticated users out of a view """
def _method_wrapper(view_method):
def _arguments_wrapper(request, *args, **kwargs):
if request.user.is_authenticated:
return redirect(redirect_to)
return view_method(request, *args, **kwargs)
return _arguments_wrapper
return _method_wrapper
Then call it in your views.py.
@login_excluded('app:redirect_to_view')
def someview(request):
# ...
You can redirect users by modifying your urls.py file like below:
from django.urls import path
from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views
from . import views
app_name = 'account'
urlpatterns = [
path('signup/', views.register, name='register'),
path('', auth_views.LoginView.as_view(redirect_authenticated_user=True), name='login'),
]
This will redirect already authenticated users from the login page. For the signup you will have to customize your register function add an if user is authenticated check.
