from friendship.models import Friend, Follow

def my_view(request):
    # List of this user's friends
    all_friends = Friend.objects.friends(request.user)

    # List all unread friendship requests
    requests = Friend.objects.unread_requests(user=request.user)

    # List all rejected friendship requests
    rejects = Friend.objects.rejected_requests(user=request.user)

    # Count of all rejected friendship requests
    reject_count = Friend.objects.rejected_request_count(user=request.user)

    # List all unrejected friendship requests
    unrejects = Friend.objects.unrejected_requests(user=request.user)

    # Count of all unrejected friendship requests
    unreject_count = Friend.objects.unrejected_request_count(user=request.user)

    # List all sent friendship requests
    sent = Friend.objects.sent_requests(user=request.user)

    # List of this user's followers
    all_followers = Follow.objects.followers(request.user)

    # List of who this user is following
    following = Follow.objects.following(request.user)

    ### Managing friendship relationships

    # Create a friendship request
    other_user = User.objects.get(pk=1)
    new_relationship = Friend.objects.add_friend(request.user, other_user)

    # Can optionally save a message when creating friend requests
    message_relationship = Friend.objects.add_friend(
        from_user=request.user,
        to_user=some_other_user,
        message='Hi, I would like to be your friend',
    )

    # And immediately accept it, normally you would give this option to the user
    new_relationship.accept()

    # Now the users are friends
    Friend.objects.are_friends(request.user, other_user) == True

    # Remove the friendship
    Friend.objects.remove_friend(other_user, request.user)

    # Create request.user follows other_user relationship
    following_created = Follow.objects.add_follower(request.user, other_user)
