A Profile Page

Part of the Users and Accounts section of Coddy's Django journey. Lesson 14 of 16.

In this chapter you add features with what you know, and less help. First, a page of your own: who is signed in and how many notes they wrote. Everything it needs is on the signed in user: the username, and their notes through the related_name of the owner field.

To show a number of rows, ask the database for the number. On a library site, author.books.count() runs one SELECT COUNT(*). len(author.books.all()) gives the same number, but loads every book first.

English needs 1 book but 2 books. As in the first section, the filter pluralize adds an s unless the number is 1: book{{ count|pluralize }}. Another ending goes in quotes: box{{ count|pluralize:"es" }}.

Challenge

Medium

Add a profile page.

In notes/views.py, write profile: render notes/profile.html with the count of the user's notes.
In notes/urls.py, add profile/ named profile.
Create profile.html extending notes/base.html. Show the username alone in an <h1>, then You have 2 notes. Use pluralize so one note reads You have 1 note.
In base.html, link Profile to it.

As ada, click Profile: You have 2 notes.
