How to use path in Django Python
Using path
in Django Python
To use path
in Django Python, follow these steps:
- Import the
path
function from thedjango.urls
module. - Define a URL pattern using the
path
function. - Specify the URL pattern in the Django project's URL configuration.
Here's a detailed explanation of each step:
Step 1: Import the path
function
In order to use the path
function, you need to import it from the django.urls
module. The path
function is used to define URL patterns in Django.
from django.urls import path
Step 2: Define a URL pattern
Once you have imported the path
function, you can use it to define a URL pattern. The path
function takes two arguments: the URL pattern and the view function or class that will handle the request.
urlpatterns = [
path('example/', views.example_view),
]
In the above example, the URL pattern is 'example/'
, which means that any request to example/
will be handled by the example_view
function.
Step 3: Specify the URL pattern in the Django project's URL configuration
Finally, you need to specify the URL pattern in the Django project's URL configuration. This is typically done in the urls.py
file of the project.
from django.urls import include, path
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('app/', include('myapp.urls')),
]
In the above example, the URL pattern 'app/'
is included using the include
function. This means that any request to app/
will be handled by the URL patterns defined in the myapp.urls
module.
That's it! You have now learned how to use the path
function in Django Python to define URL patterns.
