Compatibility with custom User model #9

Closed H4rryK4ne closed 6 months ago

Hi Carlton,

In my project I followed the django documentation suggestion to create a custom User model (although nothing actually happens there). To make your app run with a custom User model I needed to change it a bit.

Instead of importing from django.contrib.auth.models import User I used User = get_user_model() .

I can create a PR If you like this.

Hi @H4rryK4ne — this project doesn't make any sense if you use a custom user model.

If you do that, just make the email field unique. You might even make it your USERNAME_FIELD
