I am new to django, django-rest-framework, django-allaut and dj-rest-auth. I am using postman to register a user, the user gets saved successfully in the database, and I get a message saying
{
"detail": "Verification e-mail sent."
}
My email configurations is as follows (Both did not work in sending the email verification): First tried
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.mailtrap.io'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = {{my_mailtraip_user}}
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = {{my_mailtraip_pass}}
EMAIL_PORT = '2525'
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
Then tried:
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = {{my_gmail_address}}
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = {{my_gmail_password}}
EMAIL_PORT = 465
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
in my projects app, urls.py:
path('api/accounts/', include('account.urls')),
path('api/accounts/', include('allauth.urls')),
accounts app urls.py:
path('dj-rest-auth/', include('dj_rest_auth.urls')),
path(
'dj-rest-auth/registration/',
include('dj_rest_auth.registration.urls')
),
path('dj-rest-auth/account-confirm-email/',
VerifyEmailView.as_view(),
name='account_email_verification_sent'
),
settings.py
SITE_ID = 1
ACCOUNT_EMAIL_REQUIRED=True
ACCOUNT_EMAIL_VERIFICATION = 'mandatory'
REST_USE_JWT = True
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.sites',
...
'rest_framework',
'rest_framework.authtoken',
'allauth',
'allauth.account',
'allauth.socialaccount',
'dj_rest_auth',
'dj_rest_auth.registration',
]
REST_FRAMEWORK = {
'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': (
'rest_framework.permissions.IsAuthenticated',
),
'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
'rest_framework_simplejwt.authentication.JWTAuthentication',
),
}
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
"django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend",
"allauth.account.auth_backends.AuthenticationBackend",
)
What am I missing or failing to understand? Why is the email not sent to mailtrap? Why am not getting the key?
