WhoIsView ​

Overview ​

Describe the current session: the signed-in user through WhoIsSerializer, or, for an anonymous session, an object holding only auth_pending_flow. For an anonymous session that is the stage allauth holds a sign-in at, such as mfa_authenticate, or None when no sign-in is waiting. The stage lives only in the server session, so the client reads it from here to resume the sign-in after a reload.

dispatch ​

Dispatch the incoming request to the appropriate handler method.

This method implements the core request/response lifecycle for Django REST Framework views:

  1. Wraps the incoming Django HttpRequest in a REST framework Request.
  2. Performs content negotiation, authentication, permission, and throttling checks.
  3. Resolves and calls the appropriate HTTP method handler (e.g. get(), post(), put()).
  4. Handles any exceptions raised during processing and converts them into appropriate Response objects.
  5. Finalizes and returns the response with proper rendering and headers applied.
