The Problem If any of you have worked with Django Rest you'll know the multiple issues that pop up while making a custom user model, and specifically how the changes you make don't reflect upon a save. I'll show you the best way (in my opinion) to build a custom user model in DRF (Django Rest Framework), without a username. Step 1 Create an app called user ( Or whatever you want to call it ) and in the models.py make a User model which extends AbstractBaseUser. From django.db import models from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractBaseUser, BaseUserManager import datetime class User ( AbstractBaseUser ): username = None email = models.
EmailField ( ( 'email address' ), unique = True ) name = models. CharField ( maxlength = 100 ) dateofbirth = models. DateField ( default = datetime. Today ) USERNAMEFIELD = 'email' REQUIREDFIELDS = 'dateofbirth', 'name' def str ( self ): # unicode on Python 2 return self. Email Step 2 And now we add a very important line in the model.
