How to access first_name ad last_name in extended User model

[pastrufazio]

Hi all,

newbie here!


I cannot access self.user.first_name and self.user.last_name in my ClientProfile class, this is the error message:

Instance of 'OneToOneField' has no 'first_name' member

Instance of 'OneToOneField' has no 'last_name' member

What am I doing wrong?

class ClientProfile(models.Model):

    user = models.OneToOneField(

        settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL,

        on_delete=models.CASCADE,

    )

    id = models.UUIDField(primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4, editable=False)

    created_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

    modified_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)

    def __str__(self):

      return '{} {}'.format(self.user.first_name, self.user.last_name) '

class ClientProfile(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(
        settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL,
        on_delete=models.CASCADE,
    )
    id = models.UUIDField(primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4, editable=False)
    created_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    modified_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)

    def __str__(self):
      return '{} {}'.format(self.user.first_name, self.user.last_name) '

with this in settings.py

AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'accounts.CustomUser' # Overriding the default User model

To pastufrazio,

I believe instead of OneToOneField, you should try using,

user = models.ForeignKey(

        settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL,

        on_delete=models.CASCADE,

    )

Since the authentication is imported.
