Accessing UserProfile data from foreign key related Post

I am currently working on a little django app, the app is like a social media app.
User can post, like and comment.
I recently created the User Profiles. Which I can now see the user for that user profile in my view, but I cant seem to dig into the Posts that may be related to the UserProfile.
what I am trying to do is in my view of HTML, I want to be able to get the post from the userprofile and the comment, and likes.
But I have tried everything and nothing works.
Currently in my HTML view I have rendered {{ profile.user }} and it displays the users name, but If I try profile.user.post or profile.user.comments I get nothing.
Here is some code to show where I am at.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Profile View.
def profile(request):
profile = get_object_or_404(UserProfile, user=request.user)
template = 'profiles/profile.html'
context = {
'profile': profile,
# 'posts': posts
}
return render(request, template, context)

My Signal to create / save the profile, also have it registered in apps.py

def create_profile(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
if created:
UserProfile.objects.create(user=instance)
#receiver(post_save, sender=User)
def save_profile(sender, instance, **kwargs):
instance.profile.save()

NOT NULL constraint when creating a new user in django

I created a Django API to create a new user. However, when I try to create a user I get the error message:
IntegrityError at /api/v1/users/register/ NOT NULL constraint failed: accounts_user.user_id
This is what I have in models.py
from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.db.models.signals import post_save
from django.dispatch import receiver
class User(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
name = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=True)
location = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=True)
password = models.CharField(max_length=32)
email = models.EmailField(max_length=150)
signup_confirmation = models.BooleanField(default=False)
def __str__(self):
return self.user.username
#receiver(post_save, sender=User)
def update_profile_signal(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
if created:
User.objects.create(user=instance)
instance.profile.save()
In serializers.py
from rest_framework import serializers
from .models import User
class UserSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ('user_id', 'name', 'location', 'password', 'email', 'signup_confirmation')
and my views.py
from rest_framework import viewsets
from .serializers import UserSerializer
from .models import User
from rest_framework.decorators import action
from .forms import SignUpForm
from .tokens import account_activation_token
class UserViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
queryset = User.objects.all().order_by('name')
serializer_class = UserSerializer
#action (detail=True, methods=['post'])
def register(self, request):
print(request)
Any ideas on what I can do to resolve this error

As John wrote in a comment:
Here you have a problem: fields = ('user_id',...).
I also advise you to change your User model. If you don't need separating (I suppose you don't), it is way better to create your User with inheritance directly from AbstractUser instead of creating in fact doubled User models.
from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser
class User(AbstractUser):
...
In this way you will already have username, password and email, but you can add anything else in same model, instead of using user.user etc.

How to obtain a user instance using django rest framework

Perhaps the question is wrongly worded. I created user profile using Django through the following blocks of code:
models.py
class = Profile (models.Models):
user = models.OneToOneField(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
first name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
•••
serializer.py
class profile_serializer(serializers.ModerlSerializer)
class Meta:
model = Profile
fields = '__all__'
views.py
class profile_view(generics.ListCreateAPIView)
queryset = Profile.objects.all().filter(user=instance)
urls.py
urlspatterns = [path('profile', profile_view.as_view(), name='user_profile)
I definitely do not know how to implement the filter method to ensure that only the logged in user is retrieved. Or is there a better approach to obtain a specific user? If I use Project.objects.all() without the filter I get all the registered user as expected. But I don't know how to retrieve a particular user.

Hmm, I would do something like this:
from rest_framework.response import Response
from rest_framework import status, generics, permissions
class UserView(generics.GenericAPIView):
permission_classes = (permissions.IsAuthenticated,)
serializer_class = profile_serializer
def get(self, request):
user = request.user
return Response(profile_serializer(user).data,status=status.HTTP_200_OK)
Basically when a user is authenticated, their user is present in the request.
Here's the UserSerializer, comments was hard to format. (Ironically for a tech forum?)
from rest_framework import serializers
class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = User
fields = '__all__'
def get(self, instance):
return instance
def patch(self, instance, validated_data):
instance.model_method()
return super().update(instance, validated_data)
def create(self, validated_data):
user = self.context['request'].user
return super().update(user, validated_data)
And here's the profile_serializer:
class profile_serializer(serializers.ModerlSerializer):
user = UserSerializer(read_only=True)
class Meta:
model = Profile
fields = ('user', 'first_name', )

I want to create and update UserProfile object with OneToOne User object field and create a api in Django rest framework

I'm new in Django rest framework, I tried my whole day but can't do it,I want to do full crud operation in my UserProfile Model which have a OneToOne field user, User can only update their own profile and in UserProfile create or update user shouldn't update User[username], How can i achieve it Please Help me
*** serializers.py ***
from rest_framework import serializers
from product.models import UserProfile
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = User
fields = '__all__'
read_only_fields = ['username','password', ]
class UserProfileSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
user = UserSerializer(many=False)
class Meta:
model = UserProfile
fields = "__all__"
def create(self, validated_data):
user_data = validated_data.pop('user')
user_instance = User.objects.get(
username=user_data['username'])
user_instance.save()
user_profile_instance = UserProfile.objects.create(
**validated_data, user=user_instance)
user_profile.save()
return user_profile
*** views.py ***
from django.shortcuts import render
from .serializers import UserProfileSerializer
from rest_framework.views import APIView
from rest_framework import generics, permissions
from rest_framework.response import Response
from rest_framework import status
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from product.models import UserProfile
# Create your views here.
class CreateUserView(generics.ListCreateAPIView):
serializer_class = UserProfileSerializer
permission_classes = [permissions.IsAuthenticated,]
def get_queryset(self):
user = self.request.user
return UserProfile.objects.filter(user = user)
*** models.py ***
from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.core.validators import MaxValueValidator, MinValueValidator
class UserProfile(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField(User, related_name='user_profile', on_delete=models.CASCADE)
country = models.CharField(max_length=50, default='India')
city = models.CharField(max_length=100, default='')
phone = models.CharField(max_length=15,default='')
image = models.ImageField(upload_to='profile_image', blank=True)
created_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
def __str__(self):
return self.user.username

For Authentication you can use token based authentication(like jwt)
and for username you can use read_only=True
no need to send the password for get request
to update profile you need to handle put/post methods

CLEANED Serializers:
class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = User
fields = '__all__'
read_only_fields = ['username','password']
class UserProfileSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
# REMOVED all unecessary overrides
user = UserSerializer(read_only=True)
class Meta:
model = UserProfile
fields = "__all__"
Views:
class UserProfileViewSet(viewsets.GenericViewSet,
mixins.UpdateModelMixin):
# Changed inherited class and class NAME !
# I assume that your endpoint is something like /users/me/profile
# I think you want only to update user profile
# Listing or creating profile here is bad - user should have only ONE profile
# and you should do this on user model post_save signal
serializer_class = UserProfileSerializer
permission_classes = [permissions.IsAuthenticated,]
def get_object(self):
return self.request.user.user_profile
This setup will allow you to update profile and only profile data
In your models file you can make signal listener for automatically creating UserProfile object on User object create.
#receiver(post_save, sender=User)
def create_user_profile(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
if created:
UserProfile.objects.create(user=instance)

Django adding a custom field to registration

I'm trying to add additional field for user's profile which can be edited only by administrator.
When I try to save a new value of city in an administration module I'm getting an error:
global name 'created' is not defined
This error comes from:
signals.py in create_profile, line 7
I described what I have done till now :)
I started a new app profil
In models.py
from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.utils.encoding import smart_str
class UserProfile(models.Model):
"""Model przechowujący dodatkowe informacje o użytkowniku"""
user = models.ForeignKey(User, unique=True)
city = models.CharField(max_length=255, verbose_name=u'Miasto', blank=True, null=True)
class Meta:
verbose_name = 'Profil użytkownika'
verbose_name_plural = 'Profile użytkowników'
def __unicode__(self):
return u'%s' self.user.username
def __str__(self):
return smart_str('%s' % self.user.username)
import profil.signals
In file: signals.py
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.db.models.signals import post_save
from profil.models import UserProfile
def create_profile(sender, instance, **kwargs):
if created == True:
UserProfile.objects.get_or_create(user=instance)
post_save.connect(create_profile, sender=User)
forms.py
from django import forms
from profil.models import UserProfile
class UserProfileForm(forms.ModelForm):
'''Formularz modelu UserProfile'''
class Meta:
model = UserProfile
admin.py
from django.contrib import admin
from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from profil.forms import UserProfileForm
from profil.models import UserProfile
class UserProfileInline(admin.StackedInline):
model = UserProfile
fk_name = 'user'
max_num = 1
form = UserProfileForm
class UserProfileAdmin(UserAdmin):
inlines = [UserProfileInline, ]
admin.site.unregister(User)
admin.site.register(User, UserProfileAdmin)

In your signals.py you are using created but is not defined yet.
So, you can get it from kwargs using this kwargs.get('created')
Fianlly, you create_profile function should looks like this.
def create_profile(sender, instance, **kwargs):
if kwargs.get('created',None):
UserProfile.objects.get_or_create(user=instance)

You can use:
def create_profile(sender, instance, **kwargs):
if kwargs.get('created', False) ...
or
def create_profile(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
if created == True:
