Token expired or used error state handling about django-sesame HOT 4 CLOSED

The standard Django way is login_required which redirects to a login page.

You can change LOGIN_URL to something other than a login form if you don't have a login form because only django-sesame provides authentication.

Thanks for that Aymeric, that put me on the right track.

I ended up pointing the magic link to redirect view that uses the LoginRequiredMixin. On failure I send the user to the login view with a query string parameter to show an error message, otherwise I redirect to my homepage with a query string parameter to show a "you have been logged in message".

Think that covers it all. Again, just want to say that this is a great package, I can't see anything else out there handling this so nicely.

Yes, that's a smart way to achieve what you want!

I expect others may have the same need. I'm going to reopen the issue to check if I can find a good way to document it.

I reviewed this issue today. Mixing LoginRequiredMixin and RedirectView may yield the best result in your situation, however I don't think that's the most straightforward solution in general.

So I'm going to stick with the basic example in the "Per-view authentication" paragraph in the README. I'm adding more explanations so it's more likely to help someone with the same question as you.
