Adding a user model

Now, we will create the model that we will use to represent and persist the user. Open the api/models.py file and add the following lines after the declaration of the AddUpdateDelete class. Make sure that you add the import statements. The code file for the sample is included in the restful_python_chapter_07_02 folder:

from passlib.apps import custom_app_context as password_context 
import re 
 
 
class User(db.Model, AddUpdateDelete): 
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True) 
    name = db.Column(db.String(50), unique=True, nullable=False) 
    # I save the hashed password 
    hashed_password = db.Column(db.String(120), nullable=False) 
    creation_date = db.Column(db.TIMESTAMP, server_default=db.func.current_timestamp(), nullable=False) 
 
    def verify_password(self, password): 
        return password_context.verify(password, self.hashed_password) 
 
    def check_password_strength_and_hash_if_ok(self, password): 
        if len(password) < 8:
