Handling mail verification using dj-rest-auth

Question

I am able to get a verification email to the newly signed up email account. I also can verify the new email but not directly from the link sent in the email. The reason that is the confirmation link should be called with a post method, as mentioned in the documentation.

My urlpatterns list in url.py file has the two elements below:

urlpatterns = [
...,
...,
path('registration/', RegisterView.as_view(), name='account_signup'),
re_path(r'^account-confirm-email/', VerifyEmailView.as_view(),
 name='account_email_verification_sent')
]

For information I am using Django as backend with a frontend framework.

What I want is for the email verification to redirect to a page in the Frontend and from there send the post request. Is there a way to achieve this ? How to send custom email ? how to have a custom register and confirm email view ?

You can customize the verification link - the URL in the email - by overwriting the get_email_confirmation_url

Example:

from allauth.account.adapter import DefaultAccountAdapter

class CustomAccountAdapter(DefaultAccountAdapter):

    def get_email_confirmation_url(self, request, emailconfirmation):

        """
            Changing the confirmation URL to fit the domain that we are working on
        """

        url = (
            "https://example.com/verify-account/"
            + emailconfirmation.key
        )
        return url

Also add the following line the settings.py file:

ACCOUNT_ADAPTER = "users.views.CustomAccountAdapter"

the users is the name of the app in Django that has the custom Acount adapter implemented. Documentation here for more details.

How about customizing the whole email to an HTML mail ? – alpha027 Apr 01 '23 at 14:59
it is doable, but it is a headache. I prefer not to do it. – Ahmad Othman Apr 03 '23 at 14:28
The solution works only after adding a line of code in settings.py, could you please approve the edit – alpha027 Apr 03 '23 at 15:24
