Django User Registration: Complete Guide

Typically, the following steps are needed to implement user registration functionality in Django:

  1. Create a registration form: Build a form class that includes necessary fields for user registration, such as username, password, email, etc. You can use Django’s built-in form classes forms.Form or forms.ModelForm.
  2. Create a registration view function: This function handles the logic of processing user-submitted registration forms by receiving form data, validating data, creating a user object, and saving it to the database.
  3. Create a registration template: Design a template file that includes the necessary form for user registration. The template file can utilize Django template language to render the form and display error messages.
  4. Set up URL routing: configure the registration view function and template files to the Django project through URL routing, allowing users to access the registration page and submit the registration form.

Here is a simple example code:

# forms.py
from django import forms

class RegisterForm(forms.Form):
    username = forms.CharField()
    password = forms.CharField(widget=forms.PasswordInput())
    email = forms.EmailField()

# views.py
from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
from .forms import RegisterForm
from django.contrib.auth.models import User

def register(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = RegisterForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            username = form.cleaned_data['username']
            password = form.cleaned_data['password']
            email = form.cleaned_data['email']
            User.objects.create_user(username=username, password=password, email=email)
            return redirect('login')  # 注册成功后跳转到登录页面
    else:
        form = RegisterForm()
    return render(request, 'register.html', {'form': form})

# register.html
<form method="post">
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{ form.as_p }}
    <button type="submit">Register</button>
</form>

# urls.py
from django.urls import path
from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    path('register/', views.register, name='register'),
    # other url patterns
]

In the example code above, we have created a registration form class called RegisterForm, a registration view function named register to handle user registration logic, and a registration template register.html to display the registration form. Finally, we set up the registration view function in the Django project through URL routing. Users can access /register/ to enter the registration page and register as a user.
