What method to use to figure out if user is connected to facebook

Question

I am using django-social-auth for facebook login. I am able to login user using "/facebook/login". But, I need to check if user is logged in using facebook on some other page. Is there a method in the module to check if user is logged in using facebook?

thanks

Answer 1

You can check if the user has any facebook account as such:

for usersocialauth in request.user.usersocialauth_set.all():
    print usersocialauth.provider

You might as well get the list of providers for the user:

request.user.usersocialauth_set.values_list('provider')

Beware: a cosmic backward compatibility break was introduced in commit 7f967702. Read answer comment for detail.

Answer 2

Updated for latest Django / python-social-auth

This example checks if facebook is linked to the account. Replace facebook with a valid backend name.

'facebook' in user.social_auth.all().values_list("provider", flat=True)
