Re: Customizing Django built-in views such as LoginView

I was a Django fan since I am freelancer, and introduced to Flask.

The best is in Django is 2 thing:

First, easy to use.

Second: consitent. So I think each of the solution is good if not have side effect to the other.

Django users,

Which way is preferred to customize Django built-in views such as LoginView:

- Define a line in urls.py:

path(route='login/', view=views.django_auth_views.LoginView.as_view(template_name='accounts/login.html', authentication_form=forms.LoginForm, extra_context=None, redirect_authenticated_user=True), name='login'),

Where, views.py contains:

from django.contrib.auth import views as django_auth_views

Or:

In views.py, define a new class:

class LoginView(django_auth_views.LoginView):
    template_name = 'accounts/login.html'
    authentication_form = LoginForm
    extra_context = None
    redirect_authenticated_user = True

And then, define in urls.py:

path(route='login/', view=views.LoginView.as_view(), name='login'),

Will both ways work the same, and is one of them preferred from a software engineering / programming perspective?

Thanks,

Uri.
