A Django app to use email as username for user authentication.

Features

--------

* Custom User model with no username field

* Use email as username

* Includes a django-admin command for quick install

* Follow Django `best practices`_ for new Django projects and User models.

.. _`best practices`: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/customizing/#using-a-custom-user-model-when-starting-a-project

Quickstart

----------

#. Install **Django use Email as Username**:

   .. code-block:: shell

      # Run in your terminal

      pip install django-use-email-as-username

#. Add it to your *INSTALLED_APPS*:

   .. code-block:: python

      # In your settings.py file

      INSTALLED_APPS = (

          ...

          'django_use_email_as_username.apps.DjangoUseEmailAsUsernameConfig',

          ...

      )

#. Create your new django app:

   .. code-block:: shell

      # Run in your terminal

      python manage.py create_custom_user_app

#. Add the new app to your *INSTALLED_APPS*:

   .. code-block:: python

      # In your settings.py file

      INSTALLED_APPS = (

          ...

          'django_use_email_as_username.apps.DjangoUseEmailAsUsernameConfig',

          'custom_user.apps.CustomUserConfig',

          ...

      )

#. Now instruct Django to use your new model:

   .. code-block:: python

      # In your settings.py file

      AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'custom_user.User'

#. Create and run migrations:

   .. code-block:: shell

      # Run in your terminal

      python manage.py makemigrations

      python manage.py migrate

You now have a new Django app which provides a custom User model.

You can further modify the new User Model any time in the future, just remember

to create and run the migrations.

Notes

-----

This app gives you a custom User model, which is `good practice`_ for new

Django projects.

`Changing to a custom user model mid-project`_ is not easy.

.. _`good practice`: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/customizing/#using-a-custom-user-model-when-starting-a-project

.. _`Changing to a custom user model mid-project`: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/customizing/#changing-to-a-custom-user-model-mid-project

It is recommended to always create a custom User model at the beginning of every

Django project.
