Building a modular app?

[Simon Connah]

Hi,

I want to make a blogging platform and have a question about organising the project.

With my blog, I'll have the blog in one Django app and then have something like a forum in another app, along with additional functions in other apps. Also, I'd like to have a single-user system that uses AbstractUser (or AbstractBaseUser).

So how do all apps require my AbstractUser class for authentication, and then the other apps be added or removed based on what is needed for each site? I want to split auth from the rest project.

Thanks!

Hello,

I would use database replication where tables are sync between 2 databases...

Create an app with 2 views: login and logout:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/topics/auth/default/#how-to-log-a-user-in

That's your auth app. You can override your user model there also.

Then in your settings file set AUTH_USER_MODEL:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/topics/auth/customizing/#substituting-a-custom-user-model

Finally in your other apps, refer to that setting when foreign keying to user:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/topics/auth/customizing/#reusable-apps-and-auth-user-model
