How To Create Custom User Model In Django(python) by towoju5(m): 6:04pm On May 23, 2021 |
We can't imagine a web app with our User model, so today I will show you how you can create a custom User model in Django which will override the default User model. Here are the main features of this custom model - Login by email instead of username Add own fields like Date of birth, Address, Id etc. Let's quickly set up a new Django-Project Python: python -m venv env cd env/Scripts ./activate cd ../.. pip install django django-admin startproject custom_user_model cd custom_user_model python manage.py startapp custom Editing models.py Import the necessary modules like AbstractBaseUser, BaseUserManager, PermissionsMixin etc. Python: from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractBaseUser,BaseUserManager,PermissionsMixin from django.utils.translation import gettext_lazy as _ from django.db import models I am going to create a model first and then its manager. Code: class Account(AbstractBaseUser,PermissionsMixin): email = models.EmailField(_('email address'),max_length=60,unique=True) username = models.CharField(max_length=30,unique=True) first_name = models.CharField(max_length=30,blank=True) last_name = models.CharField(max_length=30,blank=True) date_of_birth = models.DateField(verbose_name='date of birth',null=True,blank=True) city = models.CharField(max_length=50,blank=True) date_joined = models.DateTimeField(verbose_name='date_joined',auto_now_add=True) last_login = models.DateTimeField(verbose_name='last login',auto_now=True) is_admin = models.BooleanField(default=False) is_active = models.BooleanField(default=False) is_staff = models.BooleanField(default=False) is_superuser = models.BooleanField(default=False) objects = AccountManager() USERNAME_FIELD = 'email' REQUIRED_FIELDS = ['username','first_name'] def __str__(self): return self.email Now create a Manager, here's the code for it Python: class AccountManager(BaseUserManager): def create_user(self,email,username,first_name,password,**other_fields): if not email: raise ValueError(_("Users must have an email address") if not username: raise ValueError(_("Users must have an unique username") email=self.normalize_email(email) user=self.model(email=email,username=username,first_name=first_name,**other_fields) user.set_password(password) user.save() def create_superuser(self,email,username,first_name,password,**other_fields): other_fields.setdefault('is_staff',True) other_fields.setdefault('is_superuser',True) other_fields.setdefault('is_active',True) if other_fields.get('is_staff') is not True: raise ValueError('is_staff is set to False') if other_fields.get('is_superuser') is not True: raise ValueError('is_superuser is set to False') return self.create_user(email,username,first_name,password,**other_fields) Our Models is ready but for see it we have to customize the admin.py file Editing admin.py Import the Account model and all other necessary modules and register the model at admin.site Python: from django.contrib import admin from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin from .models import Account # Register your models here. class UserAdminConfig(UserAdmin): list_display=['email','username','first_name','date_of_birth','city'] search_fields=['email','username','city'] readonly_fields=['date_joined','last_login'] fieldsets = ( (None, {'fields': ('email', 'password')}), ('Personal info', {'fields': ('username','first_name','last_name','date_of_birth','city')}), ('Activity', {'fields': ('date_joined','last_login')}), ('Permissions', {'fields': ('is_admin','is_active','is_staff','is_superuser')}), ) add_fieldsets = ( (None, { 'classes': ('wide',), 'fields': ('email','first_name', 'date_of_birth','city', 'password1', 'password2'), }), ) admin.site.register(Account,UserAdminConfig) So our Custom User Model is ready to use or test. Done If you just want to add some extra field to User model then you can just extend the User model by the OneToOne relationship which I will talk in the next post. Here is the full code at Github, You will find models.py and admin.py in a custom folder which we have discussed above. for a better reading experience and more post/tutorial like this you should join us on https://naijasup.com https://naijasup.com/index.php?threads/how-to-create-custom-user-model-in-django-python.5/ |
