Users

Django email_users is a simple Django app which uses email address to identify users instead of the username.

Requirements

Package was tested with

• Python 3.8, 3.10
• Django 3.2, 4.0, 4.1

If you intend to use it with Django Rest Framework then following versions were tested

3.13.1

Installation

For pip use the following command

$ pip install git+https://github.com/eugenma/django-emailuser.git#egg=django-emailuser

Quick start

1. Add 'email_user' to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:

   INSTALLED_APPS = [

   ... 'email_user',

   ]

2. Set AUTH_USER_MODEL to 'email_user.EmailUser' in settings like this:

   AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'email_user.EmailUser'

3. Run python manage.py migrate to create the models.

Settings

All settings are stored within the dictionary DJANGO_EMAIL_USER. The values are

• STORE_METHOD configuration of the email case handling

  The possible values are

  • exact - save the email as is without modifying the case,
  • lower - convert everything to lower case,
  • normalize - calls BaseUserManager.normalize_email(). This is the behaviour of the previous versions.

  Take care if you change this config in a running project. It changes the way how the fields are stored and retrieved.
