AttributeError: module 'BackendApp.views.GoogleLogin' has no attribute 'as_view'

Question

path('dj-rest-auth/google/', GoogleLogin.as_view(), name='google_login'),
AttributeError: module 'BackendApp.views.GoogleLogin' has no attribute 'as_view'

I have this error coming from url.py which is weird as I am following this guide https://dj-rest-auth.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html on the Google section. I am pretty sure I have all the relevant settings and I copied the codes for url.py and GoogleLogin.py. Does anyone have any clues on how to deal with this issue?

Answer 1

I have solved this By doing

GoogleLogin.GoogleLogin.as_view()

instead.

And renamed GoogleLogin class to GoogleLoginView instead for less confusion.
