get_username() will return a string of the users email. request. user. username will return a method.
You can't manually check the password. Because when you are creating a user, django is storing the user's password as a hash value in the database. Now if you are storing the raw password in your custom table which is myuser , it's not a good practice.
But the correct way to check if a user is logged in or not is to use : request. user. is_authenticated. This will return True if the person is logged in other wise False.
Attributes. Read-only attribute which is always True (as opposed to AnonymousUser.is_authenticated which is always False ). This is a way to tell if the user has been authenticated. This does not imply any permissions and doesn't check if the user is active or has a valid session.
First make sure you have SessionMiddleware and AuthenticationMiddleware middlewares added to your MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES setting.
The current user is in request object, you can get it by:
def sample_view(request):
current_user = request.user
print current_user.id
request.user will give you a User object representing the currently logged-in user. If a user isn't currently logged in, request.user will be set to an instance of AnonymousUser. You can tell them apart with the field is_authenticated, like so:
if request.user.is_authenticated:
# Do something for authenticated users.
else:
# Do something for anonymous users.
You can access Current logged in user by using the following code:
request.user.id
Assuming you are referring to Django's Auth User, in your view:
def game(request):
user = request.user
gta = Game.objects.create(name="gta", owner=user)
