We will create a simple view to follow/unfollow a user using AJAX. Edit the views.py file of the account application and add the following code to it:
from django.http import JsonResponsefrom django.views.decorators.http import require_POSTfrom common.decorators import ajax_requiredfrom .models import Contact@ajax_required@require_POST@login_requireddef user_follow(request): user_id = request.POST.get('id') action = request.POST.get('action') if user_id and action: try: user = User.objects.get(id=user_id) if action == 'follow': Contact.objects.get_or_create( user_from=request.user, user_to=user) else: Contact.objects.filter(user_from=request.user, user_to=user).delete() return JsonResponse({'status':'ok'}) ...
