Add documentation for customizing the fields for authentication
LucasCTN opened this issue · 2 comments
I'm having a hard time trying to change the username
field to become email
, and use it for validation instead. It would be useful to have a tutorial for making modifications like these in the docs.
I thought it would be on customizing_token_claims.md
, but it just adds the field without validating it, and username
is still required.
@LucasCTN I think you need customize your User model like descibe at django documentation:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.2/topics/auth/customizing/#django.contrib.auth.models.CustomUser.USERNAME_FIELD
for example:
class MyUser(AbstractBaseUser):
email = models.EmailField(_("email address"), max_length=255, unique=True)
...
USERNAME_FIELD = "email"
Maybe I'm wrong but I think it's not a customization from django ninja jwt but of django.

Oh, you are right! My apologies, I presumed I would need to customize the authentication.
