eazy-django-user 1.1.1

Custom User Model

Eazy Django User

Eazy Django User is a django package that provides a user model with user email as the identifier.

Installation

Use the package manager pip to install foobar.

pip install eazy-django-user

Usage

1. Add "eazy_user" to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
        ...
        'eazy_user',
    ]

2. set AUTH_USER_MODEL in setting.py to "eazy_user.EmailUser" like this: Note: Add this setting before initial migration else there will be clashes with the default user model.

AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'eazy_user.EmailUser'

3. Run python manage.py migrate to apply the migrations to the database.

python manage.py migrate

4. You can access the user foreign key like this:

from django.conf import settings

User = settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL

class YourModel(models.Model):
     user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)

5. Or by using the get_user_model method.

from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model

User = get_user_model()

But you would most likely want to extend the python EmailUser model you can do that easily:

from eazy_user.models import EmailUser

class YourCustomUser(EmailUser):
    ....

Whatever you choose, make sure to set the resulting user model as the python AUTH_USER_MODEL in the settings.py file

AUTH_USER_MODEL = '<your_app_name>.<YourCustomUser>' """<your_app_name> refers to the app that contains your custom user model, while <YourCustomUser> is the custom user model."""

Now you can proceed to creating a super user bash python manage.py createsuperuser like you normaly would, and enjoy :)
