I am looking over this website but just can't seem to figure out how to do this as it's not working. I need to check if the current site user is logged in (authenticated), and am trying:
request.user.is_authenticated
despite being sure that the user is logged in, it returns just:
>
I'm able to do other requests (from the first section in the url above), such as:
request.user.is_active
which returns a successful response.
If you want to check for authenticated users in your template then:
{% if user.is_authenticated %}
<p>Authenticated user</p>
{% else %}
<!-- Do something which you want to do with unauthenticated user -->
{% endif %}
to check if user is logged-in (authenticated user) in views.py file, use "is_authenticated" method, as the following example:
def login(request):
if request.user.is_authenticated:
print('yes the user is logged-in')
else:
print('no the user is not logged-in')
to check if user is logged-in (authenticated user) in your html templates file you can use it also as the following example :
{% if user.is_authenticated %}
Welcome,{{request.user.first_name}}
{% endif %}
this is just example , and change it based on your requirements.
i hope this helpful for you .
For Django 2.0+ versions use:
if request.auth:
# Only for authenticated users.
For more info visit https://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/requests/#auth
request.user.is_authenticated() has been removed in Django 2.0+ versions.
