Django + Graphene, after registering a user, a confirmation letter has arrived in the developer's console. How can I get control of this email?

Question

I am learning Django + Graphene + React(Apollo), after registering a user, a confirmation email has come to the developer console. How can I get control of this email?

class AuthMutation(graphene.ObjectType):
    register = mutations.Register.Field()
    verify_account = mutations.VerifyAccount.Field()

After I send data from the client side, the user is registered, but to confirm it, I have to perform a mutation with the token that comes in the letter.

mutation {
  verifyAccount(token: "YOUR TOKEN FROM LETTER") {
    success,
    errors
  }
}

Letter

<h3>{{ site_name }}</h3>

<p>Hello {{ user.username }}!</p>
<p>Please activate your account on the link:</p>

<p>{{ protocol }}://{{ domain }}/{{ path }}/{{ token }}</p>

My goal is to confirm registration via email

Answer 1

Added the following code to Settings.py file

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'password' #my gmail password
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'email' #my gmail username
EMAIL_PORT = 587

Answer 2

You have to grab the token from the URL using JavaScript.

For example,

const token = window.location.pathname.split("/").pop();

And then send this token back to the backend using the mutation you mentioned in your question.

Answer 3

Add this email settings for Gmail below to "settings.py" if using Gmail:

# "settings.py"

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST_USER = '[email protected]' # Change to your email address
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'examplePassword' # Change to your email password

Or, add this email settings for Outlook below to "settings.py" if using Outlook:

# "settings.py"

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.office365.com'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST_USER = '[email protected]' # Change to your email address
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = '[email protected]' # Change to your email address
SERVER_EMAIL = '[email protected]' # Change to your email address
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'examplePassword' # Change to your email password

Answer 4

Add This to settings.py:

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'password' #my gmail password
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'email' #my gmail username
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL 'email' #my gmail username
EMAIL_PORT = 587

• from @Murlodin

The DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL is the default for EMAIL_FROM in the GRAPHQL_AUTH config as

EMAIL_FROM = getattr(django_settings, "DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL", "[email protected]")

so you can either change the DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL or the EMAIL_FROM from the GRAPHQL_AUTH config like

GRAPHQL_AUTH = {
    #...
    "EMAIL_FROM": 'email' #my gmail username
}
