About Lesson

Django provides a built-in form for registering users, but you can also create your own custom user registration flow.

Using Django’s Built-in User Registration Form

Django provides the UserCreationForm form, which is used to create new users. This form includes fields for username, password1, and password2 (password confirmation).

Example:

from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
from django.http import HttpResponse

# View to handle user registration
def register(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = UserCreationForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()  # Save the new user
            return redirect('login')  # Redirect to the login page after successful registration
    else:
        form = UserCreationForm()

    return render(request, 'registration/register.html', {'form': form})

Template (`register.html`):


  <form method="post">
      {% csrf_token %}
      {{ form.as_p }}
      <button type="submit">Register</button>
  </form>

The UserCreationForm automatically handles validation, including checking if the passwords match.
Once the form is valid, the user is created and stored in the database.
