The User and CustomUser models have already been implemented for the Comrade Marketplace backend, which is built using Python and Django. This issue aims to review the existing implementation of these models and identify areas for improvement to ensure they meet the project's requirements and follow best practices.
Tasks
Evaluate the User Model
Review the design and implementation of the base User model provided by Django
Ensure the model captures the necessary user information, such as username, email, and password
Identify potential improvements or changes needed to the User model to better suit the project's needs
Assess the CustomUser Model
Review the design and implementation of the CustomUser model, which extends the base User model
Verify that the additional fields and functionality in the CustomUser model are appropriate and well-integrated
Determine if any further customizations or extensions are required for the CustomUser model
Optimize the Model Relationships
Examine the relationships between the User and CustomUser models, ensuring they are properly integrated and efficient
Identify any opportunities to optimize the model relationships and improve the overall data architecture
Enhance the Model Validations and Constraints
Review the input validation and data constraints implemented for the User and CustomUser models
Identify areas where additional validations or constraints could be added to improve data integrity
Implement any necessary changes to the model validations
Acceptance Criteria
The User model captures all the necessary user information and follows best practices
The CustomUser model extends the base User model appropriately and provides the required additional functionality
The relationships between the User and CustomUser models are optimized for performance and maintainability
The model validations and constraints are comprehensive and help ensure data integrity
Dependencies
Existing implementation of the User and CustomUser models
