        model = User
        fields = ["username", "email"]

class UserProfileForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = UserProfile

#in views.py
def add_user(request):
    ...
    if request.method == "POST":
        uform = UserForm(data = request.POST)
        pform = UserProfileForm(data = request.POST)
        if uform.is_valid() and pform.is_valid():
            user = uform.save()
            profile = pform.save(commit = False)
            profile.user = user
            profile.save()
            ....
    ...

#in template

    {{ uform.as_p }}
    {{ pform.as_p }}
