Getting started¶
Preparation¶
Telegram login inteface (API) requires a website with domain. However you may want to ask how to develop telegram login on a localhost?
Install localtunnel
tool with the following command (be sure that you have a npm
):
$ npm install -g localtunnel
Run a tunnel on the port that you are going to specify for the Django runserver’s command. In our case it is a 8000:
$ lt --port 8000
You will receive a url, for example https://gqgh.localtunnel.me
, that you can share with anyone for as long as your local instance of localtunnel remains active. Any requests will be routed to your local service at the specified port.
Use received url anywhere in the development — specify in settings, set as domain (/setdomain
command) for @BotFather
and browse it - https://gqgh.localtunnel.me/redirect/
instead of 127.0.0.1:8000/redirect/
.
Settings¶
Add application to the installed apps:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'django_telegram_login',
]
If you use only one bot you are able to add the following settings to own settings.py
in Django project:
TELEGRAM_BOT_NAME = 'django_telegram_login_bot'
TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN = '459236585:AAEee0Ba4fRijf1BRNbBO9W-Ar15F2xgV98'
TELEGRAM_LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = 'https://gqgh.localtunnel.me'
And use them in cases below:
from django.conf import settings
bot_name = settings.TELEGRAM_BOT_NAME
bot_token = settings.TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN
redirect_url = settings.TELEGRAM_LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL
But django-telegram-login
allows you to use unlimited bots as you will see during learing the package.
