How to register users in Python Django REST framework?
To register users in Python Django REST framework, we can call objects.create_user on the user model.
For instance, we write
from rest_framework import serializers
from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model # If used custom user model
UserModel = get_user_model()
class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
password = serializers.CharField(write_only=True)
def create(self, validated_data):
user = UserModel.objects.create_user(
username=validated_data['username'],
password=validated_data['password'],
)
return user
class Meta:
model = UserModel
fields = ( "id", "username", "password", )
to get the user model with get_user_model.
Then we create the UserSerializer model class that calls UserModel.objects.create_user to create a new user.
