Javascript url handling for Django that doesn't hurt.
Project description
Javascript url handling for Django that doesn’t hurt.
Overview
Django JS Reverse is a small django app that makes url handling of named urls in javascript easy and non-annoying..
For example you can retrieve a named url:
urls.py:
url(r'^/betterliving/(?P<category_slug>[-\w]+)/(?P<entry_pk>\d+)/$', 'get_house', name='betterliving_get_house'),
in javascript like:
Urls.betterliving_get_house('house', 12)
Result:
/betterliving/house/12/
Changelog

Requirements
Python (2.6, 2.7, 3.1, 3.3, 3.4, PyPy)
Django (1.4, 1.5, 1.6)
Installation
Install using pip …
pip install django-js-reverse
… or clone the project from github.
git clone git@github.com:ierror/django-js-reverse.git
Add 'django_js_reverse' to your INSTALLED_APPS setting.
INSTALLED_APPS = ( ... 'django_js_reverse', )
Include none-cached view …
urlpatterns = patterns('', url(r'^jsreverse/$', 'django_js_reverse.views.urls_js', name='js_reverse'), )
… or a cached one that delivers the urls javascript
from django_js_reverse.views import urls_js urlpatterns = patterns('', url(r'^jsreverse/$', cache_page(3600)(urls_js), name='js_reverse'), )
Include javascript in your template
<script src="{% url js_reverse %}" type="text/javascript"></script>
or, if you are using Django > 1.5
<script src="{% url 'js_reverse' %}" type="text/javascript"></script>
Optional you can overwrite the default javascript variable ‘Urls’ used to access the named urls by django setting
JS_REVERSE_JS_VAR_NAME = 'Urls'
Optional you can disable the minfication of the generated javascript file by django setting
JS_REVERSE_JS_MINIFY = False
Usage
If your url names are valid javascript identifiers ([$A-Z_][-Z_$]*)i you can access them by the Dot notation:
Urls.betterliving_get_house('house', 12)
If the named url contains invalid identifiers use the Square bracket notation instead:
Urls['betterliving-get-house']('house', 12) Urls['namespace:betterliving-get-house']('house', 12)
