Flask-Style URL Patterns for Django

Installation

pip install django-fsu

Usage

In urls.py: change your regex patterns to flask-styled paths.

from django.conf.urls import include
from django_fsu import url

from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    url('login', views.login),
    url('user/<username>', views.profile),
    url('article/<int:pk>', views.article),
    url('projects/', include('projects.urls'),
]

Variable parts in the route can be specified with angular brackets (user/<username>). By default a variable part in the URL accepts a string without a slash however a different format code can be specified as well by using <code:name>.

Variable parts are passed to the view function as keyword arguments. In the above example, views.profile will be passed with a keyword argument: username.

Currently supported formats codes are:

• string (the default, accepts string without a slash)
• int
• float
• uuid
• path (accepts any string)

Please note that int and float variables are still passed to the view function as a string.

To see how individual functions work, see the docstrings or type help('django_fsu') in the interactive prompt.
