        `django-rest-authemail` is a Django/Python application that provides a RESTful API interface for user signup and authentication.  Email addresses are used for authentication, rather than usernames.  Because the authentication user model is based on Django's `AbstractBaseUser` and is itself abstract, the model can be extended without the need for additional database tables.  Token authentication allows the API to be accessed from a variety of front ends, including Django, React and AngularJS clients, and iOS and Android mobile apps.

        Usage
        -----
        
        In the `settings.py` file of your project, include `rest_framework` and `rest_framework.authtoken` in `INSTALLED_APPS`. Set the authentication scheme for the Django REST Framework to `TokenAuthentication`.
        
        ```python
            INSTALLED_APPS = (
                ...
                'rest_framework',
                'rest_framework.authtoken',
                ...
            )
        
            REST_FRAMEWORK = {
                'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
                    'rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication',
                )
            }
        ```
        
        Optionally, you may add an `AUTH_EMAIL_VERIFICATION` setting to specify whether to enable email verification for new users on account registration/signup. Setting this to `False` will automatically verify newly created users.
        
        Create a Django application for your user data.  For example,
        
        ```python
            python manage.py startapp accounts
        ```
        
        In the `models.py` file of your application, extend `EmailAbstractUser`, add custom fields, and assign `objects` to `EmailUserManager()`.  For example,
        
        ```python
            from django.db import models
            from authemail.models import EmailUserManager, EmailAbstractUser
        
            class MyUser(EmailAbstractUser):
                # Custom fields
                date_of_birth = models.DateField('Date of birth', null=True, blank=True)
        
                # Required
                objects = EmailUserManager()
        ```
        
        In the `settings.py` file of your project, include `authemail` and your application in `INSTALLED_APPS`. Set `AUTH_USER_MODEL` to the class of your user model.  For example,
        
        ```python
            AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'accounts.MyUser'
        
            INSTALLED_APPS = (
                ...
                'rest_framework',
                'rest_framework.authtoken',
                'authemail',
                'accounts',
                ...
            )
        ```
        
        In the `admin.py` file of your application, extend `EmailUserAdmin` to add your custom fields.  For example,
        
        ```python
            from django.contrib import admin
            from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
            from authemail.admin import EmailUserAdmin
        
            class MyUserAdmin(EmailUserAdmin):
                fieldsets = (
                    (None, {'fields': ('email', 'password')}),
                    ('Personal Info', {'fields': ('first_name', 'last_name')}),
                    ('Permissions', {'fields': ('is_active', 'is_staff', 
                                                   'is_superuser', 'is_verified', 
                                                   'groups', 'user_permissions')}),
                    ('Important dates', {'fields': ('last_login', 'date_joined')}),
                    ('Custom info', {'fields': ('date_of_birth',)}),
                )
        
            admin.site.unregister(get_user_model())
            admin.site.register(get_user_model(), MyUserAdmin)
        ```
        
        
        Create the database tables with Django's `makemigrations`, `migrate`, and create a superuser with `createsuperuser`.
        
        ```python
            python manage.py makemigrations
            python manage.py migrate
            python manage.py createsuperuser
        ```
        
        
        Check your setup by starting a Web server on your local machine:
        
        ```python
            python manage.py runserver
        ```
        
        
        Direct your browser to the `Django` `/admin` and log in.
        
        ```python
            127.0.0.1:8000/admin
        ```
        
        You should see `Users`, `Groups`, `Password reset codes`, `Signup codes`, and `Tokens`.  If you click on `Users`, you should see your superuser account.
        
        Add the `authemail` API endpoints to your project's `urls.py` file.  For example,
        
        ```python
            from accounts import views
        
            urlpatterns = [
                url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
        
                url(r'^api/accounts/', include('authemail.urls')),
            ]
        ```
        
        When users signup or reset their password, they will be sent an email with a link and verification code.  Include email settings as environment variables or in your project's `settings.py` file.  See https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#email-host for more information.  For example,
        
        ```python
            # Email settings
            import os
        
            EMAIL_FROM = os.environ.get('AUTHEMAIL_DEFAULT_EMAIL_FROM') or '<YOUR DEFAULT_EMAIL_FROM HERE>'
            EMAIL_BCC = os.environ.get('AUTHEMAIL_DEFAULT_EMAIL_BCC') or '<YOUR DEFAULT_EMAIL_BCC HERE>'
        
            EMAIL_HOST = os.environ.get('AUTHEMAIL_EMAIL_HOST') or '<YOUR EMAIL_HOST HERE>'
            EMAIL_PORT = os.environ.get('AUTHEMAIL_EMAIL_PORT') or 0
            EMAIL_HOST_USER = os.environ.get('AUTHEMAIL_EMAIL_HOST_USER') or '<YOUR EMAIL_HOST_USER HERE>'
            EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = os.environ.get('AUTHEMAIL_EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD') or '<YOUR EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD HERE>'
            EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
            EMAIL_USE_SSL = False
        
            SERVER_EMAIL = os.environ.get('AUTHEMAIL_SERVER_EMAIL') or '<YOUR SERVER_EMAIL HERE>'
        ```
        
        Try out `authemail` API calls by firing up `python` and using the `authemail` wrapper methods (`runserver` should still be executing).  For example,
        
        ```python
            python
            >>> from authemail import wrapper
            >>> account = wrapper.Authemail()
            >>> first_name = 'Your first name'
            >>> last_name = 'Your last name'
            >>> email = 'your_email@gmail.com'
            >>> password = 'Your password'
            >>> response = account.signup(first_name=first_name, last_name=last_name,
            ... email=email, password=password)
        ```
        
        In the `Django` `/admin`, you should see a new user (not verified) and a new signup code.  You should receive an email at `your_email@gmail.com`.  Use the code in the email to verify your email address using the wrapper (normally, the link in the email would point to the front end, which would issue the signup verify request to the API):
        
        ```python
            >>> code = '7f31e7a515df266532df4e00e0cf1967a7de7d17'
            >>> response = account.signup_verify(code=code)
        ```
        
        In the `Django` `/admin`, the new user is now verified and the signup code is absent.  The new user can now login and you can inspect the associated login token:
        
        ```python
            >>> response = account.login(email=email, password=password)
            >>> account.token
            u'a84d062c1b60a36e6740eb60c6f9da8d1f709322'
        ```
        
        You will find the same token for the user in the `Token` table in the `Django` `/admin`.  Find out more information about the user (insert your token):
        
        ```python
            >>> token = 'a84d062c1b60a36e6740eb60c6f9da8d1f709322'
            >>> response = account.users_me(token=token)
            >>> response
            {u'first_name': u'Your first name', u'last_name': u'Your last name', u'email': u'your_email@gmail.com'}
        ```
        
        Use the authentication token to logout:
        
        ```python
            >>> response = account.logout(token=token)
            >>> response
            {u'success': u'User logged out.'}
        ```
        
        Play with password reset and change!
        
        If you are having trouble getting your code to execute, or are just curious, try out the Django REST Framework Browsable API.  If you type an `authemail` API endpoint into your browser, the Browsable API should appear (`runserver` should still be executing).  For example,
        
        ```python
            127.0.0.1/api/accounts/signup
        ```
        
        In the `Content:` field of the Browsable API, type:
        
        ```python
            {
                "first_name": "Your first name",
                "last_name": "Your last name",
                "email": "your_email@gmail.com",
                "password": "Your password"
            }
        ```
        
        Then click on `POST`.  You will either receive an error message to help in your debugging, or, if your signup was successful:
        
        ```python
            {
                "first_name": "Your first name",
                "last_name": "Your last name",
                "email": "your_email@gmail.com",
            }
        ```
        
        Try out the other `authemail` API endpoints with the Django REST Framework Browsable API.
        
        Make `authemail` API calls with front end code.  To get started, follow the steps in the `README.md` for the `example_project`.  Enhance the Django code in the `example_project` or extend the concepts to React, AngularJS, iOS, and Android front ends.
        
        When calling endpoints from the front end that require authentication (`logout`, `password/change`, and `users/me`), include the authorization token key in the HTTP header.  For example,
        
        ```python
            Authorization: Token 9944b09199c62bcf9418ad846dd0e4bbdfc6ee4b
        ```
        
        Here's an example using ``curl``,
        
        ```python
            curl -X GET 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/accounts/logout' \
                 -H 'Authorization: Token 9944b09199c62bcf9418ad846dd0e4bbdfc6ee4b'
        ```
        
        
        Authemail API Endpoints
        -----------------------
        For the endpoints that follow, the base path is shown as `/api/accounts`.  This path is for example purposes.  It can be customized in your project's `urls.py` file.
        
        **POST /api/accounts/signup**
        
        Call this endpoint to sign up a new user and send a verification email.  Sample email templates are found in `authemail/templates/authemail`.  To override the email templates, copy and modify the sample templates, or create your own, in `your_app/templates/authemail`.
        
        Your front end should handle password confirmation, and if desired, require the visitor to input their first and last names.
        
        Unverified users can sign up multiple times, but only the latest signup code will be active.

        Wrapper
        -------
        A wrapper is available to access the Authemail API with Python code.  First create an instance of the Authemail class, then call methods to access the API.  There is a one-to-one mapping between the endpoints and instance methods.  For example,
        
        ```python
            from authemail import wrapper
        
            account = wrapper.Authemail()
            response = account.signup(first_name=first_name, last_name=last_name,
                email=email, password=password)
        
            if 'detail' in response:
                # Handle error condition
            else:
                # Handle good response
        ```
        
        See `example_project/views.py` for more sample usage.
