Example with custom user model

[maxwaiyaki]

Is there an example with custom user model?

Currently not, but it is easy, just do the following:

Fist, from Django docs:

Changing to a custom user model mid-project

Changing AUTH_USER_MODEL after you’ve created database tables is
significantly more difficult since it affects foreign keys and
many-to-many relationships, for example.

So, make sure to create the custom user model when you start your project.

Add the following to your custom user model

Following the Django custom user model.

from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser

class CustomUser(AbstractUser):
    # ...
    USERNAME_FIELD = "<username_filed_name>" # e.g: "username", "email"
    EMAIL_FIELD = "<email_field_name>" # e.g: "email", "primary_email"

Add your custom user model in the settings

See here for more info.

# settings.py

AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'myapp.CustomUser'

Please let me know if you have further questions :)

Now the quickstart tutorial has a custom user model.
