Provide a custom User implementation

Open luzfcb opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Migrating from the standard User implementation to a custom implementation can be (extremely) complex In an existing project. We should provide a minimal custom User implementation so that any further changes are simpler to make.

cookiecutter-django implements a custom user (although it makes some decisions that fall outside the django standard, like having a name field instead of first_name and last_name, since the first_name and last_name pattern may not make sense in many languages )
