What method to use to figure out if user is connected to facebook


I am using django-social-auth for facebook login. I am able to login user using "/facebook/login". But, I need to check if user is logged in using facebook on some other page. Is there a method in the module to check if user is logged in using facebook?

thanks


Solution

  • You can check if the user has any facebook account as such:

    for usersocialauth in request.user.usersocialauth_set.all():
        print usersocialauth.provider
    

    You might as well get the list of providers for the user:

    request.user.usersocialauth_set.values_list('provider')
    

    Beware: a cosmic backward compatibility break was introduced in commit 7f967702. Read answer comment for detail.
