Description: # Django Rest Password Reset
        
        This python package provides a simple password reset strategy for django rest framework, where users can request password
        reset tokens via their registered e-mail address.
        
        Credits - https://github.com/anexia-it/django-rest-passwordreset
        
        The main idea behind this package is to not make any assumptions about how the token is delivered to the end-user (e-mail, text-message, etc...) and to major issues in the origin package.
        Also, this package provides a signal that can be reacted on (e.g., by sending an e-mail or a text message).
        
        This package basically provides two REST endpoints:
        
        - Request a token
        - Verify (confirm) a token (and change the password)
        
        ## Quickstart
        
        1. Install the package from pypi using pip:
        
        ```bash
        pip install django-rest-resetpassword
        ```
        
        2. Add `django_rest_resetpassword` to your `INSTALLED_APPS` (after `rest_framework`) within your Django settings file:
        
        ```python
        INSTALLED_APPS = (
            ...
            'django.contrib.auth',
            ...
            'rest_framework',
            ...
            'django_rest_resetpassword',
            ...
        )
        ```
        
        3. This package stores tokens in a separate database table (see [django_rest_resetpassword/models.py](django_rest_resetpassword/models.py)). Therefore, you have to run django migrations:
        
        ```bash
        python manage.py migrate
        ```
        
        4. This package provides two endpoints, which can be included by including `django_rest_resetpassword.urls` in your `urls.py` as follows:
        
        ```python
        from django.conf.urls import url, include
        
        
        urlpatterns = [
            ...
            url(r'^accounts/password-reset/',
                include('django_rest_resetpassword.urls', namespace='password_reset')),
            ...
        ]
        ```
        
        **Note**: You can adapt the url to your needs.
        
        ### Endpoints
        
        The following endpoints are provided:
        
        - `POST ${API_URL}/password-reset/` - request a reset password token by using the `email` parameter
        - `POST ${API_URL}//password-reset/validate_token/` - will return a 200 if a given `token` is valid
        - `POST ${API_URL}password-reset/confirm/` - using a valid `token`, the users password is set to the provided `password`
        
        where `${API_URL}/` is the url specified in your _urls.py_ (e.g., `api/password_reset/`)
        
        ### Signals
        
        - `reset_password_token_created(sender, instance, reset_password_token)` Fired when a reset password token is generated
        - `pre_password_reset(user)` - fired just before a password is being reset
        - `post_password_reset(user)` - fired after a password has been reset
        
        ### Example for sending an e-mail
        
        1. Create two new django templates: `email/user_reset_password.html` and `email/user_reset_password.txt`. Those templates will contain the e-mail message sent to the user, aswell as the password reset link (or token).
           Within the templates, you can access the following context variables: `current_user`, `username`, `email`, `reset_password_url`. Feel free to adapt this to your needs.
        
        2. Add the following code, which contains a Django Signal Receiver (`@receiver(...)`), to your application. Take care where to put this code, as it needs to be executed by the python interpreter (see the section _The `reset_password_token_created` signal is not fired_ below, aswell as [this part of the django documentation](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/topics/signals/#connecting-receiver-functions) and [How to Create Django Signals Tutorial](https://simpleisbetterthancomplex.com/tutorial/2016/07/28/how-to-create-django-signals.html) for more information).
        
        ```python
        from django.core.mail import EmailMultiAlternatives
        from django.dispatch import receiver
        from django.template.loader import render_to_string
        from django.urls import reverse
        
        from django_rest_resetpassword.signals import reset_password_token_created
        
        
        @receiver(reset_password_token_created)
        def password_reset_token_created(sender, instance, reset_password_token, *args, **kwargs):
            """
            Handles password reset tokens
            When a token is created, an e-mail needs to be sent to the user
            :param sender: View Class that sent the signal
            :param instance: View Instance that sent the signal
            :param reset_password_token: Token Model Object
            :param args:
            :param kwargs:
            :return:
            """
            # send an e-mail to the user
            context = {
                'current_user': reset_password_token.user,
                'username': reset_password_token.user.username,
                'email': reset_password_token.user.email,
                'reset_password_url': "{}?token={}".format(reverse('password_reset:reset-password-request'), reset_password_token.key)
            }
        
            # render email text
            email_html_message = render_to_string('email/user_reset_password.html', context)
            email_plaintext_message = render_to_string('email/user_reset_password.txt', context)
        
            msg = EmailMultiAlternatives(
                # title:
                "Password Reset for {title}".format(title="Some website title"),
                # message:
                email_plaintext_message,
                # from:
                "noreply@somehost.local",
                # to:
                [reset_password_token.user.email]
            )
            msg.attach_alternative(email_html_message, "text/html")
            msg.send()
        
        ```
        
        3. You should now be able to use the endpoints to request a password reset token via your e-mail address.
           If you want to test this locally, I recommend using some kind of fake mailserver (such as maildump).
        
        # Configuration / Settings
        
        The following settings can be set in Djangos `settings.py` file:
        
        - `DJANGO_REST_MULTITOKENAUTH_RESET_TOKEN_EXPIRY_TIME` - time in hours about how long the token is active (Default: 24)
        
          **Please note**: expired tokens are automatically cleared based on this setting in every call of `ResetPasswordRequestToken.post`.
        
        - `DJANGO_REST_RESETPASSWORD_NO_INFORMATION_LEAKAGE` - will cause a 200 to be returned on `POST ${API_URL}/reset_password/`
          even if the user doesn't exist in the databse (Default: False)
        
        - `DJANGO_REST_MULTITOKENAUTH_REQUIRE_USABLE_PASSWORD` - allows password reset for a user that does not
          [have a usable password](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/ref/contrib/auth/#django.contrib.auth.models.User.has_usable_password) (Default: True)
        
        ## Custom Email Lookup
        
        By default, `email` lookup is used to find the user instance. You can change that by adding
        
        ```python
        DJANGO_REST_LOOKUP_FIELD = 'custom_email_field'
        ```
        
        into Django settings.py file.
        
        ## Custom Remote IP Address and User Agent Header Lookup
        
        If your setup demands that the IP adress of the user is in another header (e.g., 'X-Forwarded-For'), you can configure that (using Django Request Headers):
        
        ```python
        DJANGO_REST_RESETPASSWORD_IP_ADDRESS_HEADER = 'HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'
        ```
        
        The same is true for the user agent:
        
        ```python
        HTTP_USER_AGENT_HEADER = 'HTTP_USER_AGENT'
        ```
        
        ## Custom Token Generator
        
        By default, a random string token of length 10 to 50 is generated using the `RandomStringTokenGenerator` class.
        This library offers a possibility to configure the params of `RandomStringTokenGenerator` as well as switch to
        another token generator, e.g. `RandomNumberTokenGenerator`. You can also generate your own token generator class.
        
        You can change that by adding
        
        ```python
        DJANGO_REST_RESETPASSWORD_TOKEN_CONFIG = {
            "CLASS": ...,
            "OPTIONS": {...}
        }
        ```
        
        into Django settings.py file.
        
        ### RandomStringTokenGenerator
        
        This is the default configuration.
        
        ```python
        DJANGO_REST_RESETPASSWORD_TOKEN_CONFIG = {
            "CLASS": "django_rest_resetpassword.tokens.RandomStringTokenGenerator"
        }
        ```
        
        You can configure the length as follows:
        
        ```python
        DJANGO_REST_RESETPASSWORD_TOKEN_CONFIG = {
            "CLASS": "django_rest_resetpassword.tokens.RandomStringTokenGenerator",
            "OPTIONS": {
                "min_length": 20,
                "max_length": 30
            }
        }
        ```
        
        It uses `os.urandom()` to generate a good random string.
        
        ### RandomNumberTokenGenerator
        
        ```python
        DJANGO_REST_RESETPASSWORD_TOKEN_CONFIG = {
            "CLASS": "django_rest_resetpassword.tokens.RandomNumberTokenGenerator"
        }
        ```
        
        You can configure the minimum and maximum number as follows:
        
        ```python
        DJANGO_REST_RESETPASSWORD_TOKEN_CONFIG = {
            "CLASS": "django_rest_resetpassword.tokens.RandomNumberTokenGenerator",
            "OPTIONS": {
                "min_number": 1500,
                "max_number": 9999
            }
        }
        ```
        
        It uses `random.SystemRandom().randint()` to generate a good random number.
        
        ### Write your own Token Generator
        
        Please see [token_configuration/django_rest_resetpassword/tokens.py](token_configuration/django_rest_resetpassword/tokens.py) for example implementation of number and string token generator.
        
        The basic idea is to create a new class that inherits from BaseTokenGenerator, takes arbitrary arguments (`args` and `kwargs`)
        in the `__init__` function as well as implementing a `generate_token` function.
        
        ```python
        from django_rest_resetpassword.tokens import BaseTokenGenerator
        
        
        class RandomStringTokenGenerator(BaseTokenGenerator):
            """
            Generates a random string with min and max length using os.urandom and binascii.hexlify
            """
        
            def __init__(self, min_length=10, max_length=50, *args, **kwargs):
                self.min_length = min_length
                self.max_length = max_length
        
            def generate_token(self, *args, **kwargs):
                """ generates a pseudo random code using os.urandom and binascii.hexlify """
                # determine the length based on min_length and max_length
                length = random.randint(self.min_length, self.max_length)
        
                # generate the token using os.urandom and hexlify
                return binascii.hexlify(
                    os.urandom(self.max_length)
                ).decode()[0:length]
        ```

        ## Known Issues / FAQ
        
        ### Django 2.1 Migrations - Multiple Primary keys for table ...
        
        Django 2.1 introduced a breaking change for migrations (see [Django Issue #29790](https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/29790)). We therefore had to rewrite the migration [0002_pk_migration.py](django_rest_resetpassword/migrations/0002_pk_migration.py) such that it covers Django versions before (`<`) 2.1 and later (`>=`) 2.1.
        
        Some information is written down in Issue #8.
        
        ### The `reset_password_token_created` signal is not fired
        
        You need to make sure that the code with `@receiver(reset_password_token_created)` is executed by the python interpreter. To ensure this, you have two options:
        
        1. Put the code at a place that is automatically loaded by Django (e.g., models.py, views.py), or
        
        2. Import the file that contains the signal within your app.py `ready` function:
        
           _some_app/signals.py_
        
        ```python
        from django.core.mail import EmailMultiAlternatives
        from django.dispatch import receiver
        from django.template.loader import render_to_string
        from django.urls import reverse
        
        from django_rest_resetpassword.signals import reset_password_token_created
        
        
        @receiver(reset_password_token_created)
        def password_reset_token_created(sender, instance, reset_password_token, *args, **kwargs):
            # ...
        ```
        
        _some_app/app.py_
        
        ```python
        from django.apps import AppConfig
        
        class SomeAppConfig(AppConfig):
            name = 'your_django_project.some_app'
            verbose_name = 'Some App'
        
            def ready(self):
                import your_django_project.some_app.signals  # noqa
        ```
        
        _some_app/**init**.py_
        
        ```python
        default_app_config = 'your_django_project.some_app.SomeAppConfig'
        ```
        
        ### MongoDB not working
        
        Apparently, the following piece of code in the Django Model prevents MongodB from working:
        
        ```python
         id = models.AutoField(
             primary_key=True
         )
        ```
        
        See issue #49 for details.
        
        ## Contributions
        
        This library tries to follow the unix philosophy of "do one thing and do it well" (which is providing a basic password reset endpoint for Django Rest Framework). Contributions are welcome in the form of pull requests and issues! If you create a pull request, please make sure that you are not introducing breaking changes.
        
        ## Tests
        
        See folder [tests/](tests/). Basically, all endpoints are covered with multiple
        unit tests.
        
        Use this code snippet to run tests:
        
        ```bash
        pip install -r requirements_test.txt
        python setup.py install
        cd tests
        python manage.py test
        ```
        
        ## Release on PyPi
        
        To release this package on pypi, the following steps are used:
        
        ```bash
        rm -rf dist/ build/
        python setup.py sdist
        twine upload dist/*
        ```
