[Django]-Django – can I get the current user when I'm not in a view function

✅

Views.py

def yourview(request):
    yourform = SaleFilterForm(request.POST, user=request.user)

Forms.py

class SaleFilterForm(forms.Form):
    ...

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        self.user = kwargs.pop('user', None)
        super(SaleFilterForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

Then you can use your user inside of your form as self.user

Hope it helps!

This is the best simple code in Django to pass user information form views.py to various files is by using a function

in the file, you want to access the current user info (ex:models.py) :
after all imports

`

user = None
def current_user(request):
    global user
    user = request.user

`

and use the object variable user in the file

in views.py:

from .models import current_user

in any function(eg-def login(request):)

current_user(request)

It is just based on simple sending variable via the function. Simple logic
