is it possible for me to integrate my user data from supertokens to django’s user auth system

hey @shorthair_[]

Yes it's possible. Will require some custom work depending on your usecase. But it's doable.

a two way integration

I see. Two integration will require more work. It will be based on https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/topics/auth/customizing/. It's not a priority at the moment but we plan to have it in the upcoming months. Feel free to try it on your own and ask for help wherever required.

tnx a lot

Hey! That’s possible via overrides.

tnx for that rp!

Yes. you can use Django models to handle the custom DB part.

thx so much guys

Hey @shorthair_[], try this:

python
# config.py
# This file comes along with Django boilerplate provided by supertokens cli
# Try `npx create-supertokens-app@latest` and choose Django as backend

from supertokens_python.recipe.session.recipe import RecipeImplementation as SessionRecipeImplementation
from functools import wraps
from django.http import HttpRequest
from asgiref.sync import sync_to_async
from typing import Any
from supertokens_python.recipe.session.syncio import get_session

def upsert_user_last_seen(user_id: str):
    from .models import UserLastSeen
    # This automatically sets the last seen time to now since it is a DateTimeField with auto_now=True
    UserLastSeen.objects.update_or_create(user_id=user_id, defaults={"user_id": user_id})


def override_session_functions(oi: SessionRecipeImplementation):
    oi_create_new_session = oi.create_new_session

    async def create_new_session(request, user_id, access_token_payload, session_data, user_context):
        new_session = await oi_create_new_session(request, user_id, access_token_payload, session_data, user_context)
        await sync_to_async(upsert_user_last_seen)(user_id) # Note how that you need to pass the function to sync_to_async and pass the args later
        return new_session

    oi.create_new_session = create_new_session
    return oi

def track_logged_user_wrapper(extra_args: Any = None):
    def wrap(f):
        from .models import UserLastSeen

        @wraps(f)
        def wrapped_function(request: HttpRequest, *args: Any, **kwargs: Any):
            session = get_session(request, session_required=False)
            if session is not None:
                user_id = session.get_user_id()
                upsert_user_last_seen(user_id)
            return f(request, *args, **kwargs)

        return wrapped_function

    return wrap

🤩

Actually, I used the django boilerplate generated by our CLI as a starting point. So I've kept the first snippet that I just shared in config.py (Haven't shared rest of the part since it's part of boilerplate)

tnx for all this @KShivendu 🙂

Great!
