Django custom registration fails to store certain fields - django

Question

I have a django rest project wherein I have customized user model to fit my needs. I also have created a custom serializer to add more fields like address, phone number etc to be stored during registration. I am using django-rest-auth for login and registration. Browsable API looks like follows:
The registration is successful, however it fails to store address and user type.
My custom user model:
class UserManager(BaseUserManager):
def _create_user(self, username, email, password, is_staff, is_superuser, **extra_fields):
now = timezone.now()
if not username:
raise ValueError(_('The given username must be set'))
email = self.normalize_email(email)
user = self.model(username=username, email=email,
is_staff=is_staff, is_active=True,
is_superuser=is_superuser, last_login=now,
date_joined=now, **extra_fields)
user.set_password(password)
user.save(using=self._db)
return user
def create_user(self, username, email=None, password=None, **extra_fields):
return self._create_user(username, email, password, False, False,
**extra_fields)
def create_superuser(self, username, email, password, **extra_fields):
user=self._create_user(username, email, password, True, True,
**extra_fields)
user.is_active=True
user.save(using=self._db)
return user
class User(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):
username = models.CharField(_('username'), max_length=30, unique=True,
help_text=_('Required. 30 characters or fewer. Letters, numbers and #/./+/-/_ characters'),
validators=[
validators.RegexValidator(re.compile('^[\w.#+-]+$'), _('Enter a valid username.'), _('invalid'))
])
first_name = models.CharField(_('first name'), max_length=30, blank=True, null=True)
last_name = models.CharField(_('last name'), max_length=30, blank=True, null=True)
email = models.EmailField(_('email address'), max_length=255, unique=True)
is_staff = models.BooleanField(_('staff status'), default=False,
help_text=_('Designates whether the user can log into this admin site.'))
is_active = models.BooleanField(_('active'), default=True,
help_text=_('Designates whether this user should be treated as active. Unselect this instead of deleting accounts.'))
date_joined = models.DateTimeField(_('date joined'), default=timezone.now)
receive_newsletter = models.BooleanField(_('receive newsletter'), default=False)
birth_date = models.DateField(_('birth date'), auto_now=False, null=True)
address = models.CharField(_('address'), max_length=30, blank=True, null=True)
phone_regex = RegexValidator(regex=r'^\+?1?\d{9,15}$', message="Phone number must be entered in the format: '[phone]'. Up to 15 digits allowed.")
phone_number = models.CharField(_('phone number'), validators=[phone_regex], max_length=30, blank=True, null=True) # validators should be a list
USER_TYPES = (
('Farmer', 'Farmer'),
('Windmill owner', 'Windmill owner'),
('Solar panel owner', 'Solar panel owner'),)
user_type = models.CharField(_('user type'), choices=USER_TYPES, max_length=30, blank=True, null=True)
USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'
REQUIRED_FIELDS = ['username',]
objects = UserManager()
class Meta:
verbose_name = _('user')
verbose_name_plural = _('users')
def get_full_name(self):
full_name = '%s %s' % (self.first_name, self.last_name)
return full_name.strip()
def get_short_name(self):
return self.first_name
def email_user(self, subject, message, from_email=None):
send_mail(subject, message, from_email, [self.email])
My register serializer:
class RegisterSerializer(serializers.Serializer):
email = serializers.EmailField(required=allauth_settings.EMAIL_REQUIRED)
first_name = serializers.CharField(required=True, write_only=True)
last_name = serializers.CharField(required=True, write_only=True)
address = serializers.CharField(max_length=500, required=True, write_only=True)
#user_type = serializers.CharField(required=True, write_only=True)
user_type = serializers.ChoiceField(
choices=[('Farmer', 'Farmer'),('Windmill owner', 'Windmill owner'),('Solar panel owner', 'Solar panel owner'),],
style={'base_template': 'radio.html'},
required=True, write_only=True)
password1 = serializers.CharField(required=True, write_only=True)
password2 = serializers.CharField(required=True, write_only=True)
def validate_email(self, email):
email = get_adapter().clean_email(email)
if allauth_settings.UNIQUE_EMAIL:
if email and email_address_exists(email):
raise serializers.ValidationError(
_("A user is already registered with this e-mail address."))
return email
def validate_password1(self, password):
return get_adapter().clean_password(password)
def validate(self, data):
if data['password1'] != data['password2']:
raise serializers.ValidationError(
_("The two password fields didn't match."))
return data
def get_cleaned_data(self):
return {
'first_name': self.validated_data.get('first_name', ''),
'last_name': self.validated_data.get('last_name', ''),
'address': self.validated_data.get('address', ''),
'user_type': self.validated_data.get('user_type', ''),
'password1': self.validated_data.get('password1', ''),
'email': self.validated_data.get('email', ''),
}
def save(self, request):
adapter = get_adapter()
user = adapter.new_user(request)
self.cleaned_data = self.get_cleaned_data()
adapter.save_user(request, user, self)
setup_user_email(request, user, [])
user.save()
return user
What exactly is going wrong? Why these fields are not stored?
