Perhaps we could start with a model method in user.rb for user.followers ?

If no one has taken it up yet (@avsingh999 ), I'd like to do it.

@shubhangi-chauhan that would be great -- do you think you have an idea of how to create the user.followers method and how to write a unit test for it?

It might be kind of similar to:

https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/blob/cc2df02a63b72cca7b1129aa3044933abf614a50/app/models/node.rb#L285-L294

Or perhaps related to:

https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/blob/cc2df02a63b72cca7b1129aa3044933abf614a50/app/models/tag.rb#L161-L167

But for users. Our Data Model page doesn't really yet document all this: https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/blob/master/doc/DATA_MODEL.md

But you can see how users_selection can be used to follow someone: https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/blob/master/app/models/user_selection.rb

similarly to how node_selection works for nodes. Does this make any sense?

@jywarren @cesswairimu I would like to work on this!

[cesswairimu]

Great 🎉 please go ahead. Thanks

[Manasa2850]

@jywarren @cesswairimu I'm not quite sure what needs to be done here. The profile displays the number of Followers and Following. Clicking on that gives the list of people who are followers/following.

Could you please let me know what exactly I need to do?
Thanks in advance!
