Django REST Framework/Django
In my project I've two different types of users:
The problem is that Token object is connected with django User object. What would be the best solution - create new user model for my worker? I don't want to extend User model because I want to have "Users" and "Workers" in my admin panel.
class Worker(models.Model):
ip = models.GenericIPAddressField()
created_date = models.DateTimeField()
last_update = models.DateTimeField()
# but it's not the way I wish it was done:
# user = models.ForeignKey(User)
In general how would you solve the problem when part of users login normally with login/password and some of the users (workers) use token as an authenticating credentials ?
Assuming you are wanting to have those same fields but want the table space to be unique you could do:
class Worker(models.AbstractBaseUser):
ip = models.GenericIPAddressField()
created_date = models.DateTimeField()
last_update = models.DateTimeField()
Otherwise, if you want the worker to inherit you could do what is essentially a join by straight inheriting your auth user class by doing:
class Worker(AUTH_USER_MODEL):
ip = models.GenericIPAddressField()
created_date = models.DateTimeField()
last_update = models.DateTimeField()
