'CustomUser' object is not iterable - django

Question

I am trying to establish a user type base register/login system for my e-commerce app. I have used the following codes in my views file. here's the code snippet from my models.py. Just given the customer class as i am focusing on that first.
class CustomUser(AbstractUser):
user_type_choices=((1,"Merchant"),(2,"Customer"))
user_type=models.CharField(max_length=255,choices=user_type_choices,default=1)
class Meta(AbstractUser.Meta):
swappable = "AUTH_USER_MODEL"
class CustomerUser(models.Model):
auth_user_id=models.OneToOneField(CustomUser,on_delete=models.CASCADE)
user=models.OneToOneField(CustomUser,on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='customer', null= True,blank=True)
name= models.CharField(max_length = 255, null= True)
firstname = models.CharField(max_length = 255, null=True)
lastname = models.CharField(max_length = 255, null=True)
email = models.CharField(max_length = 255, null=True)
profile_pic=models.FileField(default="")
created_at=models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
So, as far I can say that I am logged in but can't access my home page as I got the following error.
TypeError at /
'CustomUser' object is not iterable

I'm not sure why my cartData function in utlis.py is affected by this. It worked perfect when I didn't used user type base login. However, here's the cartData from utils.py.
def cartData(request):
if request.user.is_authenticated:
order, created = Order.objects.get_or_create(request.user, complete=False)
items = order.orderitem_set.all()
cartItems = order.get_cart_items
else:
cookieData = cookieCart(request)
cartItems = cookieData['cartItems']
order = cookieData['order']
items = cookieData['items']
return {'cartItems': cartItems, 'order': order, 'items':items}
my forms.py is:
class CustomerSignUpForm(UserCreationForm):
mob = forms.IntegerField(min_value = 0, max_value = 9000000000000)
first = forms.CharField(max_length = 255)
last = forms.CharField(max_length = 255)
class Meta(UserCreationForm.Meta):
model = CustomUser
fields = ['first', 'last' ,'username', 'email', 'password1', 'password2', 'mob']
lastly the views for registration and login is as follows:
def customerSignUpView(request):
form_class = CustomerSignUpForm
if request.method == 'POST':
form = CustomerSignUpForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
user = form.save()
user.save()
user = authenticate(username=user.username, password=user.password)
return redirect('login')
else:
form = form_class()
return render(request, 'usertemplates/register.html', {'form': form})
def loginUser(request):
page = 'login'
if request.method == 'POST':
username = request.POST['username']
password = request.POST['password']
user = authenticate(request, username=username, password=password)
if user is not None:
login(request, user)
return redirect('store')
else:
messages.warning(request, "Invalid Credentials")
return redirect('login')
return render(request, 'usertemplates/login.html', {'page': page})

Doesn't get_or_create() use kwargs? In which case you'll need something like
order, created = Order.objects.get_or_create(customer=request.user, complete=False)
where 'customer' is the name of the user foreign key field in the Order model.
Edit based on comment below
customer_user = CustomerUser.objects.get(user = request.user)
order, created = Order.objects.get_or_create(customer=customer_user, complete=False)
