Since django-1.11, the login
, logout
, etc. function-based views have been rewritten to class-based views: the LoginView
[Django-doc] and LogoutView
[Django-doc] classes, as is specified in the release notes. The “old” function-based views could still be used, but were marked as deprecated.
In django-2.1, the old function-based views have been removed, as specified in the release notes.
You can write it like:
from django.contrib.auth.views import LoginView
from django.urls import path
from . import views
app_name = "users"
urlpatterns = [
path('login/',
LoginView.as_view(
template_name="users/login.html"
),
name="login"
),
]
