可以使用Django的auth_user模型存储用户信息吗

Question

If I am trying to create a login app for my project is it advisable to use auth_user as the model to store newly created user's in and just extend in in my signup app through:

from auth.models import User

class UserForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model=User

Or is it better to create a custom model to store users in. Will what I have above even work? I'm sure the answer is either "of course, that's what it's there for" or "dear god why would you want to do that" but I don't know which.

Answer 1

User is meant to store the credentials of users that will be able to log into and use the system via normal Django auth mechanisms. If your project will use Django's auth then yes, User is the correct model to use.

Answer 2

The short answer is yes. and if you want to store additional information of the user, you could create another model and a foreign key to the user model.
