Custom user attributes/properties.
I'm looking to create a user property such as "profile_pic" that would store a url string to the asociated user in file storage. Also want to create a field called "username". I dont see an option for creating custom user properties anywhere. Is this something that's possible or should I just go with creating a "Profile" table and store a reference to the user ID, in a sense creating a one to one relationship.
TL;DR
The user wants to create custom user attributes such as "profile_pic" and "username". They are asking if it is possible to create custom user properties or if they should create a separate "Profile" table with a one-to-one relationship to the user ID. Two workarounds were suggested: using the user preferences object or creating a custom user collection. 
There two workarounds you can choose from.
- Use the user preferences object.
- The more common one is to create a custom user collection. within it add all the custom-made attributes required for the user in your app.
Ok perfect. These where the options I was looking at but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't re-inventing the wheel, thank you π
