Creating POST context processor

I have a follow button that I'd like to have on some pages. This follow button follows the same logic on all pages. User clicks follow button -> user follows user -> user is redirected to the same page I have this logic on one page (ProfileView), but I'd like to extend it on other pages (Followers page, following page, etc)

User clicks follow button -> user follows user -> user is redirected to the same page

ProfileView in views.py

def post(self, request, slug):
follower = self.request.user

self.object = self.get_object()
follow_unfollow(follower, self.object.id) //Function that follows/unfollows

self.object = self.get_object()
context = self.get_context_data(object=self.object)
return render(request, self.template_name, context=context)


This works correctly. However, I'd like to make this post function outside of ProfileView and have it in something like a context processor. If the user is on another user's followers page and clicks the follow button there should be a post method that handles that request (This post method should be the same post method if we were on another page like the profile page.) Is there a way I can make my post method reusable that way I can handle the request from whatever page using 1 post method?
