django-app-router 0.1.1

Django App Router

A library for creating routes in Django with a similar structure to Next.js App Router.

Features

• Dynamic routing
• Nested routing
• Route parameters
• Route groups

Requirements

• Python 3.8+
• Django 4.2+

Installing

Windows:

$ pip install -U django-app-router

Linux/MacOS:

$ python3 -m pip install -U django-app-router

Setup and Usage

urls.py:

from django_app_router import routers

router = routers.AppRouter()
router.include_app('your_app') # app directory name

urlpatterns = [
    # ...
]

urlpatterns += router.urls

Alternatively, you can use the include function. like this:

urlpatterns = [
    # ...
    path('', include(router.urls)),
]

Example

for example, define a route with the file page.py in the routers folder:

from django.shortcuts import render

def page(request):
    """home"""
    # You can also name the page
    # path(..., ..., name='home')

    return render(request, 'page.html')

Example folder structure

your_app
├── migrations

├── routers
│   ├── (auth)

│   │   │   ├── page.html
│   │   │   └── page.py

You can see the full example in the example folder.

Notes

if you have .html files in the routers directory. ensure that the DIRS setting in the TEMPLATES setting includes the routers directory.

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        # ...
        'DIRS': [
            # any other directories
            BASE_DIR / 'your_app' / 'routers',
        ],
        # ...
    },
]
