Authentication & Modeling

[haIIux]

As I'm in the process building out this authentication using this piece of documentation, I'm curious to see what would be recommended to handle ease of user modeling.

For instance, based on what we have now when a user signs up - they would be required to fill out quite an extensive amount of information. Alternatively, could we create a model that we use specifically for signing up a user as outlined below (and in the docs) then within the UserController would it be appropriate to create a function as outlined below as well, to handle that?

// User Model
extension User {
// Computed variable for dto.
    struct Create: Content {
        var email: String
        var password: String
        var confirmPassword: String
    }
}

// User Controller
    func signUserUp(req: Request) async throws -> User.Create {
        try User.Create.validate(content: req)
        let create = try req.content.decode(User.Create.self)
        guard create.password == create.confirmPassword else {
            throw Abort(.badRequest, reason: "Passwords did not match.")
        }
        
        let user = try User(
            email: <#T##String#>,
            password: <#T##String#>,
            firstName: <#T##String?#>,
            lastName: <#T##String?#>,
            discordUsername: <#T##String?#>,
            githubUsername: <#T##String?#>,
            tags: <#T##[String]#>,
            links: <#T##[String]#>,
            profileImage: <#T##String?#>,
            biography: <#T##String?#>,
            location: <#T##String?#>
        )
        
        try await user.save(on: req.db)
        return user
    }

The idea behind this would be creating an initial table entry with the above information, however my concern follow up question could be would the update functionality negatively impact this method of thinking?

Or... I'm just overthinking this entirely. 😅
