[FEATURE-REQUEST] Allow login via email and username

[mukul-mehta]

As of now, we only let a user log in using email but we should let a user login through username as well.
It should be a straight forward job adding this feature.

Hey @agarwalBinay18 that is so amazing.

This is the line (

Syphus/app/main/controller/auth_controller.py

Line 21 in 1a22523

@api.route('/login')

) where we accept the request on the /login endpoint. It currently uses the user_auth (

Syphus/app/main/util/dto.py

Line 9 in 1a22523

user_auth = api.model('auth_details', {

) structure to accept request. Adding a new field of username and making either email or username necessary can be a good first step.

Thereafter you need to modify the login function which compares email and password and use a OR statement to also allow username.

Please feel free to ask more questions.
