django-friendship provides an easy extensible interface for following and friendship
Project description
Django-Friendship
This application enables you to create and manage follows, blocks and bi-directional friendships between users. It features:
Friendship request objects that can be accepted, rejected, canceled, or marked as viewed.
Hooks to easily list all friend requests sent or received by a given user, filtered by the status of the request.
A blocklist for each user of users they’ve blocked.
Tags to include information about friendships, blocks and follows in your templates.
Integration with AUTH_USER_MODEL.
Validation to prevent common mistakes.
Faster server response time through caching
Requirements
Django 1.11+ since v1.7.0 (latest release supporting Django 1.10 is v1.6.0)
Installation
pip install django-friendship
add "friendship" to INSTALLED_APPS and run python manage.py migrate.
Use the friendship manager in your own views, or wire up the URLconf to include the builtin views: :
urlpatterns = [ ... url(r'^friendship/', include('friendship.urls')) ... ]
Usage
django-friendship provides a free API that gives you several ways to create and manage friendship requests or follows in your views. Add the following at the top of your views.py:
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from friendship.models import Friend, Follow, BlockGetting Data about Friendships
List all of a user’s friends: Friend.objects.friends(request.user)
List all unread friendship requests: Friend.objects.unread_requests(user=request.user)
List all unrejected friendship requests: Friend.objects.unrejected_requests(user=request.user)
Count of all unrejected friendship requests: Friend.objects.unrejected_request_count(user=request.user)
List all rejected friendship requests: Friend.objects.rejected_requests(user=request.user)
Count of all rejected friendship requests: Friend.objects.rejected_request_count(user=request.user)
List of all sent friendship requests: Friend.objects.sent_requests(user=request.user)
Test if two users are friends: Friend.objects.are_friends(request.user, other_user) == True
Getting Data about Follows
List of a user’s followers: Follow.objects.followers(request.user)
List of who a user is following: Follow.objects.following(request.user)
Getting Data about Blocks
List of a user’s blockers: Block.objects.blockers(request.user)
List of who a user is blocking: Block.objects.blocking(request.user)
Test if a user is blocked: Block.objects.is_blocked(request.user, other_user) == True
Managing Friendships and Follows
Create a friendship request: :
other_user = User.objects.get(pk=1) Friend.objects.add_friend( request.user, # The sender other_user, # The recipient message='Hi! I would like to add you') # This message is optionalLet the user who received the request respond: :
from friendship.models import FriendshipRequest friend_request = FriendshipRequest.objects.get(pk=1) friend_request.accept() # or friend_request.reject()To remove the friendship relationship between request.user and other_user, do the following: :
Friend.objects.remove_friend(request.user, other_user)Make request.user a follower of other_user: :
Follow.objects.add_follower(request.user, other_user)Make request.user block other_user: :
Block.objects.add_block(request.user, other_user)Make request.user unblock other_user: :
Block.objects.remove_block(request.user, other_user)
