Django rest auth extend registration form
I am using Django-rest-auth for authentication and registration. I am using email to loging in the user with password. I want to store user's first name and last name at the time of registration (perhaps few more fields) i.e. On client side on registration form will have following fields(email, password, first name, last name, etc..). Currently registration form has only email, password 1 and password 2 fields and registration is basically successful.
My settings.py has following:
#This is required otherwise it asks for email server
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend'
ACCOUNT_AUTHENTICATION_METHOD = 'email'
ACCOUNT_EMAIL_REQUIRED = True
ACCOUNT_USERNAME_REQUIRED = False
#Following is added to enable registration with email instead of username
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
# Needed to login by username in Django admin, regardless of `allauth`
"django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend",
#`allauth` specific authentication methods, such as login by e-mail
"allauth.account.auth_backends.AuthenticationBackend",
)
How can I achieve this?

If you want to extend the registration form, you're going to need to create your own custom user that has more fields.
So in your models file have this
from django.contrib.auth.models import (
AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin,
)
class CustomUser(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):
email = models.EmailField(max_length=254, unique=True)
first_name = models.TextField(default='')
last_name = models.TextField(default='')
#any other fields you want
USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'
then in your settings you want this
AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'app_name.CustomUser'
and then django rest should use this user model as when you visit this form page
I hope this helps!
EDIT
I believe this should automatically handle passwords since it extends AbtractBaseUser, let me know if it doesn't
