Displaying user-friendly titles for available backends #680

Open jeremystretch opened 2 years ago

jeremystretch commented 2 years ago

Expected behaviour

I'm trying to devise a way of conveying a user-friendly name for each of the backends, so that when displaying links on a login page I can present an available backend to the user as e.g. "Microsoft Azure AD" instead of "azuread-oauth2".

Actual behaviour

This doesn't appear to be defined on the individual backends anywhere. (I couldn't find any existing issues relating to this; apologies if I missed something.)

What are the steps to reproduce this issue?

N/A

Any logs, error output, etc?

N/A

Any other comments?

My approach to enabling this would be to add an (optional) title attribute to each class, which can be easily referenced for display. For now, I'm maintaining a separate dictionary mapping backend names to titles, but figured this would make sense to implement upstream.

I'm happy to volunteer for this work if it's desired.

We do this as well, including icons: https://github.com/WeblateOrg/weblate/blob/53d5358b4fd798037cb9248b06c06618c84eaf20/weblate/accounts/templatetags/authnames.py#L29-L52
