Django: login_required on ajax call

Question

I am trying to authenticate user on ajax post but doesn\'t work. Here what I have done

LOGIN_URL = \'/accounts/login/\'
LOGI         


        

Answer 1

Instead of :

if not request.user.is_authenticated():
   return HttpResponseRedirect('/accounts/login')

return json response :

if request.user.is_authenticated():
    ## write your code...
    jsonr = json.dumps({ 'authenticated': True })
    return HttpResponse(jsonr, mimetype='application/json')
else:
    jsonr = json.dumps({ 'authenticated': False })
    return HttpResponse(jsonr, mimetype='application/json')

And At your ajax success response , if not authenticated then redirect to login using windows.location .

OR you can write decorator : Django authentication and Ajax - URLs that require login
