Usage Example

use:

from django_user_email_extension.models import *

user_object = User.objects.create_user('EMAIL', 'PASSWORD')

# user is a Django User object
user_object.create_verification_email()

# Send the verification email
user_object.send_verification_email(subject=subject,
                                 body=body,
                                 from_mail=EMAIL_HOST_USER)

# Initiate verification process
verify_record(uuid_value=uuid)

The confirmation uuid can be sent as part of the body for example:

    body = 'Follow this link to verify your account: https://nalkins.cloud' + \
           '%s' % reverse('verify_account',
                          kwargs={'uuid': str(user_object.get_uuid_of_email())})
