How can I customize Password Confirm View when received Email Django Rest Auth

Question

I am implementing Password reset by using django Rest Auth, two thing I requires when request hits from reactjs frontend I want the email to be customize I want to use password_reset_email.html template.Firstly I used simple PasswordResetView and I got the email but it sends me to native Rest UI PasswordConfirmView.

I want,when User hit request it should use my templates which are, password_reset.html,password_reset_confirm.html,password_reset_done.html... which we make in our templates/appname directory my try:

urls.py:

   urlpatterns=[
url(
    r'^rest-auth/password/reset/$',
    PasswordResetView.as_view(),
    name='password_reset',
),
url(
    r'^rest-auth/password/reset/confirm/'
    r'(?P<uidb64>[0-9A-Za-z_\-]+)/(?P<token>[0-9A-Za-z]{1,13}-[0-9A-Za-z]{1,20})/$',
    PasswordResetConfirmView.as_view(),
    name='password_reset_confirm'),
    ]

authsystem/templates:

password_reset_confirm.html:

          <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html lang="en">
      <head>
      <meta charset="UTF-8">
       <title>Title</title>
      </head>
      <body>
        {% if validlink %}
           <h3>Change password</h3>
              <form method="post">
               {% csrf_token %}
              {{ form.as_p }}
  <button type="submit">Change password</button>
</form>
   {% else %}
    <p>
  The password reset link was invalid, possibly because it has already been used.
  Please request a new password reset.
</p>
 {% endif %}
</body>
 </html>

I know the above approach is less but I want the direction how can I make it work I don't want to use rest auth built-in UI, when request hits from react side,How can I use templates when the email is sent,when I click on link in email I want to show my template, token and uid should pass from templates,I have all the templates ready but don't know how to use with Django Rest Auth.

This isn't a REST view (API) it's just a normal view from the allauth package, so you shouldn't have to change any URLs ( if you did url(r'^account/', include('allauth.urls')), in your main urls). Just override the template used by allauth by putting the template inside an account directory inside your templates directory. Also I think the template name is incorrect, it should be authsystem/templates/account/password_reset_from_key.html — dirkgroten

In general, if you want to override templates from a package, make sure you check first the path of template used in the view. E.g. in the rest-auth package (if you didn't install allauth), password reset is handled by the default Django PasswordResetConfirmView (django.contrib.auth.views), which uses the template 'registration/password_reset_confirm.html', which for some reason resides in django/contrib/admin/templates/registration.

So the way templates are loaded, if in any of your apps, you have this template, it'll be loaded before the one from Django. Just create authsystem/templates/registration/password_reset_confirm.html and that's the one that will be used instead of the default one inside django/contrib/admin.

If you're using allauth, then the view is PasswordResetFromKeyView (allauth.account.views) and the corresponding template account/password_reset_from_key.html. Therefore, creating this template in authsystem/templates/account/password_reset_from_key.html will override the one from allauth.
