A flask-style decorator for Django views

Djecorator

Write Django routes in the same style as Flask.

Installation

pip install djecorator

Usage

views.py

from django.shortcuts import render
from djecorator import Route

route = Route()

@route("/")
def index(request):
    return render(request, "index.html")

# With path and name parameters
@route("/about/", name="about_page")
def about(request):
    return render(request, "about.html")

# With login required protection
@route("/dashboard/", login_required=True)
def dashboard(request):
    # Only accessible to authenticated users
    return render(request, "dashboard.html")

urls.py

import views

urlpatterns = [
    ...
]

urlpatterns += views.route.patterns

Features

• Flask-like routing: Define your routes directly above your view functions
• Prefixing: Add URL and name prefixes to group related routes
• Authentication: Protect routes with Django's login_required decorator
• Class-based views: Works with both function-based and class-based views

Route Parameters

The Route class accepts the following parameters:

• url_prefix: Prefix added to all URL paths
• name_prefix: Prefix added to all URL names

The @route() decorator accepts the following parameters:

• path: The URL path (defaults to the function name)
• name: The URL name (defaults to the function name)
• login_required: Whether the view requires authentication (defaults to False)

Example with prefixes

# Create a route with prefixes
admin_route = Route(url_prefix="/admin", name_prefix="admin_")

@admin_route("/users/")
def admin_users(request):
    # This will be available at /admin/users/
    # and have the URL name "admin_users"
    return render(request, "admin/users.html")

@admin_route("/settings/", login_required=True)
def admin_settings(request):
    # This will be available at /admin/settings/
    # and have the URL name "admin_settings"
    # and require login
    return render(request, "admin/settings.html")
