Django url pattern - string parameter

Question

Django url pattern that have a number parameter is:

url(r\'^polls/(?P\\d+)/$\', \'polls.views.detail\')

What will be the correct

Answer 1

Starting in Django 2.0 it is easier to handle string parameters in URLs with the addition of the slug symbol, which is used just like int in urls.py:

from django.urls import path

urlpatterns = [
    path('something/', views.slug_test),
]

And in your function-based or class-based view you would handle it just like any other parameter:

def slug_test(request, foo):
    return HttpResponse('Slug parameter is: ' + foo)
