Get user object using userid in django

Question

Hello i am new to django,

i am creating an authentication system using django.

Once a user is logged in i am storing the value in a session.

 user = authenticate(username=username, password=password)
request.session['mid'] = user.id

and when i refresh i can receive the session id

uid = request.session['mid']

But i am not sure how to get the userdatas from the user id. can any one tell me how can get the user object using the user id.

Answer 1

Use simple .get() query.

try:
    uid = request.session['mid']
    userobj = User.objects.get(id=uid)
except User.DoesNotExist:
   #handle case when user with that id does not exist
