using the rest-framework and the django-allauth settings flags for removing the username as required for both login and register:
#settings.py
ACCOUNT_AUTHENTICATION_METHOD = 'email'
ACCOUNT_EMAIL_REQUIRED = True
ACCOUNT_UNIQUE_EMAIL = True
ACCOUNT_USERNAME_REQUIRED = False
but i still see the username field in the registration form in the administrator and the username field in the user list (empty users those without username).
how can i remove it?
Essentially this involves creating a custom user model and informing Django and Django Admin portions that it should be used instead of the standard model.
Your class will look like the following.
class User(AbstractUser):
username = None
email = models.EmailField(_('email address'), unique=True)
USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'
REQUIRED_FIELDS = []
The details of the implementation can be found here
In my case, I simply put 'username = None' there. Then it's gone. Full code:
from django.utils.translation import gettext_lazy as _
class LectureUser(AbstractUser):
username = None
identifier = models.IntegerField(primary_key=True)
email = models.EmailField(_('email address'))
USERNAME_FIELD = 'identifier' # Set to the unique identifier we define.
objects = CustomUserManager()
Hope this helps :-)
In your settings.py file:
ACCOUNT_AUTHENTICATION_METHOD = 'email'
ACCOUNT_USER_MODEL_USERNAME_FIELD = None
ACCOUNT_EMAIL_REQUIRED = True
ACCOUNT_USERNAME_REQUIRED = False
