Auto-generating user email when creating user profile?

I am creating a application using django

My Code as follows:

class Profile(models.Model):
    Name = models.OneToOneField(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL,on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    E_mail = models.EmailField(max_length=70)
    Phone_no = models.BigIntegerField()
    Skills = models.TextField()
    Image = models.ImageField(upload_to='user_images')

I want to autogenerate the user email in the user profile which the user had given at the time of signup.

I am using the django autheticated models for signup and login and I am using class based views for my profile generation.

Can anybody help me in this?

Thank you

For this case you can leverage Django's custom context processors for template.

Create a file context_processors.py in your main app folder which will contain your user object, like this:

def user(request):
    return {'user': {'email': request.user.email if request.user.is_authenticated else None}}

Then in settings.py file add your context processors's name under context_processors list, like this:

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': ['templates'],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                'django.template.context_processors.debug',
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
                'myapp.context_processors.user',  # This is our custom context processors
            ],
        },
    },
]

Now you can access user email in all templates with this syntax,{{ user.email }}
