[FIXED] How to Hash Django user password in Django Rest Framework?

Issue

I'm trying to create an API for my user registration using Django Rest Framework. I created a serializer by following the step from the api-guide

class CreateUserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
  class Meta:
    model = User
    fields = ('email', 'username', 'password')
    extra_kwargs = {'password': {'write_only': True}}

  def create(self, validated_data):
    user = User(
        email=validated_data['email'],
        username=validated_data['username']
    )
    user.set_password(validated_data['password'])
    user.save()
    return user

However, I keep getting the Invalid password format or unknown hashing algorithm. for my newly created user. I've tried to use make_password from django.contrib.auth.hashers, but I still can't resolve this issue.

Thanks

Solution

You can try it in this way

from django.contrib.auth.hashers import make_password

user = User.objects.create(
       email=validated_data['email'],
       username=validated_data['username'],
       password = make_password(validated_data['password'])
)
