Hi!
First of all, you still can use regular expressions to define URLs by using
django.urls.re_path. You could even the old django.conf.urls.url, which is
still available, so you don't have to change any existing code.
What you are asking for is the corresponding path converter to a regular
expression.
Django comes with five predefined path converters, which just use a regular
expression under the hood:
int [0-9]+
str [^/]+
path .+
slug [-a-zA-Z0-9_]+
uuid [0-9a-f]{8}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{12}
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/topics/http/urls/#path-converters
https://github.com/django/django/blob/stable/2.0.x/django/urls/converters.py
Note that those also do type conversion when appropriate, the int path
converter passes an int to your view, the uuid converter a uuid.
If those don't fit your needs, you can also build your own:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/topics/http/urls/#registering-custom-path-converters
Or, as mentioned at the beginning, just keep using regular expressions:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/topics/http/urls/#using-regular-expressions
I've just put together a small article that sums up everything:

Hope that helps,
Daniel
