-----------------------------+--------------------
We're using a convenience function in our website urls and I want to
propose it's inclusion into django upstream. I'm sounding out developers
feelings on such an addition before I generate a patch and connected
documentation.
Code (for django.conf.urls):
{{{
def url_tree(regex, *urls):
return url(regex, include(patterns('', *urls)))
}}}
This function cleans up url definitions that contain multiple layers. For
example if you had a urls file containing:
{{{
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^$', MyListView.as_view()),
url(r'^(?P<pk>\d+)/$', MyItemView.as_view()),
url(r'^(?P<pk>\d+)/delete/$', MyDeleteView.as_view()),
url(r'^(?P<pk>\d+)/post/$', MyPostView.as_view()),
)
}}}
And DRY it into:
{{{
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^$', MyListView.as_view()),
url_tree(r'^(?P<pk>\d+)/',
url('^$', MyItemView.as_view()),
url(r'^delete/$', MyDeleteView.as_view()),
url(r'^post/$', MyPostView.as_view()),
),
)
}}}
This function gets very useful with tens of possible functions and long
urls. So. Does this make sense as an addition to django? Is the
functionality already there an I've missed it? Let me know.
