User Authentication and Profile Management

[uxabix]

We need to implement basic user authentication functionality.

Requirements

• Registration page & endpoint
• Fields:
  • Username
  • Email
  • Password
• Login page & endpoint
• Profile page
• Display basic user information
• Logout functionality

Technical details

• Use Django’s built-in user model.
• Create API endpoints (DRF) for registration, login, logout, and profile retrieval.
• Create corresponding Django template pages for registration, login, profile.
• Ensure CSRF protection and session management work correctly for template-based views.
• JWT or session-based auth for API (to be discussed).

Testing

• Write unit tests for:
• Registration (valid / invalid data)
• Login (valid / invalid credentials)
• Accessing profile (authenticated / unauthenticated)
• Logout

Definition of Done

• User can register, log in, view profile, and log out via both API and UI.
• All new code is covered by tests.
• Documentation (docstrings) is provided.
