Django: import auth user to the model

Question

In Django I created a new model:

from django.db import models from django.contrib.auth import user  class Workers(models.Model):     user = models.OneToOneField(User, primary_key=True)         work_group = models.CharField(max_length=20)         card_num = models.IntegerField()     def __unicode__(self):             return self.user 

But it doesn't work: ImportError: cannot import name user

How to fix it?

I want to create a new table "workers" in db, which has a OneToOne relationship with table "auth_user".

Answer 1

from django.contrib.auth.models import User 

You missed the models - and user is capitalized.

If you use a custom user model you should use:

from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model User = get_user_model() 

More details can be found in the docs.

Changed in Django 1.11:

The ability to call get_user_model() at import time was added.

Answer 2

If you're using a custom User model, do the following to reference it:

from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model User = get_user_model() 

Or if using it in foreign key or many-to-many relations:

from django.conf import settings .... user = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL)
