How to do reverse URL search in Django namespaced reusable application

Question

Consider that I include namespaced reusable application:

urlpatterns = patterns(\'\',
    # ella urls
    url(\'^ella/\', include(\'ella.core.urls\', namespace=\         


        

Answer 1

URL Namespaces can be specified in two ways.

Firstly, you can provide the application and instance namespace as arguments to include() when you construct your URL patterns. For example,:

(r'^help/', include('apps.help.urls', namespace='foo', app_name='bar')),

This is right from http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/urls/#defining-url-namespaces.

Try changing include('ella.core.urls', namespace="ella") to include('ella.core.urls', namespace="ella", app_name="ella"). I'm not 100% this will work, but its worth a shot.

Answer 2

Since you have name-spaced url configuration, you need to mention namespace:view-name pattern in order to reverse it properly (especially from view).

But, if you want to avoid this, you may also pass namespace/appname as current_app parameter. There are multiple ways to specify current_app when you are in template. But if you are in view, you need to hard-code as you did, or pass to current_app parameter

url = reverse('object_detail', 
              kwargs={'foo':'bar'}, 
              current_app=app_name_or_name_space)

refer: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/urls/#reverse

Answer 3

At least in Django 1.8 you can write something like this:

url = reverse('%s:object_detail' % request.resolver_match.namespace, kwargs={'required' : 'params'})

request.resolver_match.namespace is a string containing the namespace of the currently running view.
