Hi,
This is how I created my User model that does what you require:
class User(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin, AuditableModel):
first_name = models.CharField(_('first name'), max_length=30, blank=True)
last_name = models.CharField(_('last name'), max_length=30, blank=True)
email = models.EmailField(_('email address'), blank=False,
null=False, unique=True)
is_staff = models.BooleanField(
_('staff status'),
default=False,
help_text=_('Designates whether the user can log into this
admin site.'),
)
is_active = models.BooleanField(
_('active'),
default=True,
help_text=_(
'Designates whether this user should be treated as active. '
'Unselect this instead of deleting accounts.'
),
)
objects = CustomUserManager()
EMAIL_FIELD = 'email'
USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'
REQUIRED_FIELDS = []
def clean(self):
"""
Override the default clean method to include normalization of
the email field.
"""
super().clean()
self.email = self.__class__.objects.normalize_email(self.email)
def get_full_name(self):
"""
Returns the first_name plus the last_name, with a space in
between if set, otherwise the email address.
"""
full_name = f'{self.first_name} {self.last_name}'.strip()
if not full_name:
full_name = self.email
return full_name
def get_short_name(self):
"Returns the short name for the user."
return self.first_name
class Meta:
verbose_name = _('user')
verbose_name_plural = _('users')
The reason for the CustomUserManager is to override some methods when
creating users.
By setting the USERNAME_FIELD to 'email' you can remove the
CustomUserManager that you have declared (which by the way I don't think
will work). You can check here for more information about creating your own
user model with email as username field:
https://www.fomfus.com/articles/how-to-use-email-as-username-for-django-authentication-removing-the-username
Here you can also see the CustomUserManager that will be required. :-)
