Django: Redirect logged in users from login page

Question

I want to set up my site so that if a user hits the /login page and they are already logged in, it will redirect them to the homepage. If they are not logged in

Answer 1

Since class based views (CBVs) is on the rise. This approach will help you redirect to another url when accessing view for non authenticated users only.

In my example the sign-up page overriding the dispatch() method.

class Signup(CreateView):
    template_name = 'sign-up.html'

    def dispatch(self, *args, **kwargs):
        if self.request.user.is_authenticated:
            return redirect('path/to/desired/url')
        return super().dispatch(*args, **kwargs)

Cheers!
