Hey everyone, I have been stuck on a project for which I need help. I made an AI document handler and reader with django and tailwind and wanted to use Clerk for user authorization but I have been stuck on it for days. I have tried so many things but nothing seems to be working. NEED HELP PLEASEEE!!!
Welcome @MusaAbkr !
Why don’t you start by telling us in general what you have tried to do?
What is the approach you are trying to take? Are you trying to build your own authentication backend? Or are you trying to integrate it with something like django-allauth? (I do not see where it comes with a backend for Clerk, so you’re likely going to need to build it yourself.)
Your title mentions “user authentication”, but you write:
Are you trying to use it for both? If so, what information are you looking to get from Clerk?
Hey, my main purpose was to get easy authentication, clerk provides a lot of options that are easy to integrate esp the third party logins like google and github etc - i have previously used it with next js. Also, clerk smoothly verifies the user emails and I wont be needing an email server with it
please use django-allauth package that provides a robust and integrated solution for handling user authentication, registration, account management, and social account authentication.
don’t use clerk authentication because us tired so mach use easy with alllauth in django
