Javascript url handling for Django that doesn’t hurt.
Django JS Reverse is a small django app that makes url handling of named urls in javascript easy and non-annoying..
For example you can retrieve a named url:
urls.py:
url(r'^/betterliving/(?P<category_slug>[-\w]+)/(?P<entry_pk>\d+)/$', 'get_house', name='betterliving_get_house'),
in javascript like:
Urls.betterliving_get_house('house', 12)
Result:
/betterliving/house/12/
- 0.4.1
Fix: collectstatic runner: moved to own management command collectstatic_js_reverse
- 0.4.0
Add ability to save in file <script src="{% static 'django_js_reverse/js/reverse.js' %}"></script> to do this run ./manage.py collectstatic
Add JS_REVERSE_EXCLUDE_NAMESPACES option to exclude namespaces from import default is []
To exclude e.g. admin and Django Debug Toolbar: :: JS_REVERSE_EXCLUDE_NAMESPACES = ['admin', 'djdt']

Install using pip
…
pip install django-js-reverse
… or clone the project from github.
git clone [email protected]:ierror/django-js-reverse.git
Add 'django_js_reverse'
to your INSTALLED_APPS
setting.
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'django_js_reverse',
)
First generate static file by :: ./manage.py collectstatic_js_reverse
If you change some urls or add plagin and wont to update reverse.js file run the command again.
After this add file to template :: <script src="{% static 'django_js_reverse/js/reverse.js' %}"></script>
Include none-cached view …
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^jsreverse/$', 'django_js_reverse.views.urls_js', name='js_reverse'),
)
… or a cached one that delivers the urls javascript
from django_js_reverse.views import urls_js
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^jsreverse/$', cache_page(3600)(urls_js), name='js_reverse'),
)
Include javascript in your template
<script src="{% url js_reverse %}" type="text/javascript"></script>
or, if you are using Django > 1.5
<script src="{% url 'js_reverse' %}" type="text/javascript"></script>
Optional you can overwrite the default javascript variable ‘Urls’ used to access the named urls by django setting
JS_REVERSE_JS_VAR_NAME = 'Urls'
Optional you can disable the minfication of the generated javascript file by django setting
JS_REVERSE_JS_MINIFY = False
By default all namespaces are included :: JS_REVERSE_EXCLUDE_NAMESPACES = [] Add some namespaces things to exclude :: JS_REVERSE_EXCLUDE_NAMESPACES = ['admin', 'djdt', ...]
If your url names are valid javascript identifiers ([$A-Z_][-Z_$]*)i you can access them by the Dot notation:
Urls.betterliving_get_house('house', 12)
If the named url contains invalid identifiers use the Square bracket notation instead:
Urls['betterliving-get-house']('house', 12)
Urls['namespace:betterliving-get-house']('house', 12)
Enjoy!
