I have a custom user model and I am using django-rest-framework to create
API
models.py:
class User(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):
email = models.EmailField(
unique=True,
max_length=254,
)
first_name = models.CharField(max_length=15)
last_name = models.CharField(max_length=15)
mobile = models.IntegerField(unique=True)
date_joined = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)
is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True)
is_admin = models.BooleanField(default=False)
serializers.py:
class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
password1 = serializers.CharField(write_only=True)
password2 = serializers.CharField(write_only=True)
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ('first_name', 'last_name', 'email', 'mobile',
'password1', 'password2')
views.py:
@api_view(['POST'])
@permission_classes((AllowAny,))
def create_user(request):
serialized = UserSerializer(data=request.data)
if serialized.is_valid():
User.objects.create_user(
serialized.save()
)
return Response(serialized.data, status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED)
else:
return Response(serialized._errors,
status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST)
However, when I try to create a new user I am getting this error:
*Got a TypeError when calling User.objects.create(). This may be because
> you have a writable field on the serializer class that is not a valid
> argument to User.objects.create(). You may need to make the field

This maybe because there's no password1 or password2 fields in the User
model. But so, how can I create an API to create a new user using
django-rest-framework?
