أنماط URL باستخدام path()

Django needs to know which view handles which address. The URLconf is the map that connects a URL to a view.

Your URL map lives in urls.py. It holds a list called urlpatterns that Django checks top to bottom for a match.

The main tool for routing is the path function. Import it from django.urls at the top of the file.

The path function takes a route string and the view to call. You list these inside the urlpatterns list.

Here is a working map. The urlpatterns list ties the about/ route to the about view function.

Write views.about without parentheses. Django calls the view for you when the route matches a request.

An empty string route, '', matches your site's root. It is how you point the home page at a view.

Django routes usually end with a slash, like about/. This is a strong convention, so keep it consistent across routes.

Django reads urlpatterns top to bottom and stops at the first match. Put more specific routes above broader ones.

Bring your views into urls.py first. The import line lets you reference each view by name in path calls.

If no pattern matches the request, Django returns a 404 error. That is your signal to add or fix a route.

Think about how you reference a view inside path().

In urls.py you import path, list routes in urlpatterns, and point each one at a view. Order and trailing slashes matter. 🔗
