Profile UpdateView (Default)

Profile Update View Form After Sign Up in Django

As we have made a signup module, so it is obvious we are going to need a profile update module. For Profile Update Functionality, we are going to use generic UpdateView. These are the in-built class-based views that make our code DRY. We are going to use the User Model which we have used above.

forms.py

from django import forms
from django.contrib.auth.models import User

# Profile Form
class ProfileForm(forms.ModelForm):

    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = [
            'username',
            'first_name', 
            'last_name', 
            'email',
            ]

views.py

from django.shortcuts import render
from django.urls import reverse_lazy
from django.views.generic import CreateView, UpdateView
from core.forms import SignUpForm, ProfileForm
from django.contrib.auth.models import User

# Edit Profile View
class ProfileView(UpdateView):
    model = User
    form_class = ProfileForm
    success_url = reverse_lazy('home')
    template_name = 'commons/profile.html'

urls.py

from django.urls import path
from core.views import SignUpView, ProfileView

urlpatterns = [
    path('signup/', SignUpView.as_view(), name='signup'),
    path('profile/<int:pk>/', ProfileView.as_view(), name='profile'),
]

profile.html

{% extends 'base.html' %}

{% block title %}Profile Page{% endblock title %}

{% block content %} 
    <h2>Profile Page</h2>
    <form method="post">
        {% csrf_token %}
        {{ form.as_p }}
        <button type="submit">Update</button>
        <br><br>
        <a href="{% url 'home' %}">Back</a>
    </form>
{% endblock content %}
