USER STORY: Login

[SandraBergstrom]

As a user, I can log in to the Travel Tickr platform using my registered email and password, so that I can access my account and personalized features.

Acceptance Cirteria:

• Acceptance Criteria 1: There should be a visible navigation link on the landing page that directs me to the login form.
• Acceptance Criteria 2: The login form should include fields for entering my registered email and password, and it should validate the input to ensure accuracy.
• Acceptance Criteria 3: If I enter incorrect login credentials or miss any required fields, clear error messages should be displayed to guide me in correcting the errors.
• Acceptance Criteria 4: Once successfully logged in, a message should be displayed to inform me that I am now logged in and can access my personalized features.

Tasks

• Implement the login function in the Django framework to handle user authentication.
• Create a login form that includes fields for username and password.
• Add style to loginform
• Create a navigation link on relevant pages that directs users to the login form.
