User
directly,
you should reference the user model using
django.contrib.auth.get_user_model()
. This method will return the
currently active user model – the custom user model if one is specified, or
User
otherwise." When it says "currently active user mode" is it the model that I created in models.py or the one that is currently logged in to the website? what does "or User otherwise" mean? --

JarvisThanks,forms.pymodels.pyI am playing around with user registration. I came across a code where the get_user_model() was assigned to a model in Meta class inside a form. I was just wondering, what is the benefit of using the get_user_model() as Model in a form instead of importing a class from models.py then use that class as model of the form and when should I use it?Hi,
class RegUser(User):
def __str__(self):
return self.username
class UserCreateForm(UserCreationForm):
class Meta:
fields = ('username', 'password1', 'password2')
model = get_user_model()
