Email field in the Django(3.0) Custom User Model is case sensitive, I tried various ways to make it case-insensitive but no success so far.
Code
forms.py
class UserCreationForm(UserCreationForm):
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ('first_name','last_name','username','email','password1','password2')
class UserChangeForm(UserChangeForm):
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ('first_name','last_name','username','email',)
class UserUpdateForm(forms.ModelForm):
'''
model form are the form that work with specific user model
'''
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ('first_name','last_name','username','email',)
class ProfileUpdateForm(forms.ModelForm):
'''
model form are the form that work with specific user model
'''
class Meta:
model = Profile
fields = ['image']
manager.py
class UserManager(BaseUserManager):
def create_user(self, email, username, first_name, last_name, password=None):
if not email:
raise ValueError('Must have Email')
if not username:
raise ValueError('Must have username')
if not first_name:
raise ValueError('Must have first_name')
if not last_name:
raise ValueError('Must have last name')
user = self.model(
email=self.normalize_email(email),
username=username,
first_name=first_name,
last_name=last_name,
)
user.set_password(password)
user.save(using=self._db)
return user
def create_superuser(self, email, username, first_name, last_name, password=None):
user = self.create_user(
email=email,
username=username,
first_name=first_name,
last_name=last_name,
password=password,
)
user.is_active = True
user.is_staff = True
user.is_admin = True
user.is_superuser = True
user.save(using=self._db)
return user
Model.py
class User(AbstractBaseUser):
# compulsory fields
email = models.EmailField(max_length=255, unique=True)
username = models.CharField(
unique=True, max_length=255, null=True, blank=False)
first_name = models.CharField(
unique=False, max_length=255, null=True, blank=False, verbose_name='First Name')
last_name = models.CharField(
unique=False, max_length=255, null=True, blank=False, verbose_name='Last Name')
date_joined = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)
is_staff = models.BooleanField(default=False)
is_admin = models.BooleanField(default=False)
is_superuser = models.BooleanField(default=False)
is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True)
USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'
REQUIRED_FIELDS = ['first_name', 'last_name', 'username']
objects = UserManager()
def __str__(self):
return f'{self. username}'
def has_perm(self, perm, obj=None):
return True
def has_module_perms(self, app_label):
return self.is_admin
class Profile(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField(
settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
image = models.ImageField(default='default.jpg', upload_to='profile_pics')
there are two models that interact with User, one is User and other is Profile. (Profle handles images)
Things already tried
- One of the very obvious things to try is to make email lowercase in manager.py before any authentication and so I did like this
manage.py (modified)
user = self.model(
email=self.normalize_email( **email.lower()** ), # <- notice change here
username=username,
first_name=first_name,
last_name=last_name,
)
user = self.create_user(
email=email.lower() , # <-- notice change here
username=username,
first_name=first_name,
last_name=last_name,
password=password,
)
but this didn't work.
- Second was this post, this is another StackOverflow post which I followed which didn't work either
I am trying to solve this problem for hours and can't think of anything else, would really appreciate some advice.
