Overview

Django JS Reverse is a small django app that makes url handling of named urls <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/urls/#naming-url-patterns>__ 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.betterlivingGetHouse('house', 12)

Result:

::

/betterliving/house/12/

Requirements

+----------------+------------------------------------------+ | Python version | Django versions | +================+==========================================+ | 3.7 | 2.2, 2.1, 2.0, 1.11, 1.10, 1.9, 1.8 | +----------------+------------------------------------------+ | 3.6 | 2.2, 2.1, 2.0, 1.11, 1.10, 1.9, 1.8 | +----------------+------------------------------------------+ | 3.5 | 2.2, 2.1, 2.0, 1.11, 1.10, 1.9, 1.8 | +----------------+------------------------------------------+ | 3.4 | 2.0, 1.11, 1.10, 1.9, 1.8, 1.7, 1.6, 1.5 | +----------------+------------------------------------------+ | 2.7 | 1.11, 1.10, 1.9, 1.8, 1.7, 1.6, 1.5 | +----------------+------------------------------------------+

Installation

Install using pip …

::

pip install django-js-reverse

… or clone the project from github.

::

git clone https://github.com/ierror/django-js-reverse.git

Add 'django_js_reverse' to your INSTALLED_APPS setting.

::

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'django_js_reverse',
)

Usage with webpack

Install using npm

::

npm install --save django-js-reverse

Include none-cached view …

::

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^jsreverse.json$', 'django_js_reverse.views.urls_json', name='js_reverse'),
)

… or a cached one that delivers the urls JSON

::

from django_js_reverse import views
urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^jsreverse.json$', cache_page(3600)(views.urls_json), name='js_reverse'),
)

Include JavaScript in your bundle:

::

// utils/djangoReverse.mjs
import _ from 'lodash/fp';
import djangoJsReverse from 'django-js-reverse';

export default _.once(
  async () => {
    const res = await fetch('/jsreverse.json');
    const data = await res.json();
    return djangoJsReverse(data);
  }
)

::

// somePlace.mjs
import djangoReverse from './utils/djangoReverse';

(async () => {
  const urls = await djangoReverse();
  const url = urls.someViewName('some-arg');
  ...
})();

Usage as static file

First generate static file by

::

./manage.py collectstatic_js_reverse

If you change some urls or add an app and want to update the reverse.js file, run the command again.

After this add the file to your template

::

<script src="{% static 'django_js_reverse/js/reverse.js' %}"></script>

Usage with views

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>

Usage as template tag

---

You can place the js_reverse JavaScript inline into your templates, however use of inline JavaScript is not recommended, because it will make it impossible to deploy a secure Content Security Policy. See django-csp <https://django-csp.readthedocs.io/>__

::

{% load js_reverse %}

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
    {% js_reverse_inline %}
</script>

Use the urls in javascript

If your url names are valid javascript identifiers ([$A-Z_][-Z_$]*)i you can access them by the Dot notation:

::

Urls.betterlivingGetHouse('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)

You can also pass javascript objects to match keyword aguments like the examples bellow:

::

Urls['betterliving-get-house']({ category_slug: 'house', entry_pk: 12 })
Urls['namespace:betterliving-get-house']({ category_slug: 'house', entry_pk: 12 })

Options

Optionally, you can overwrite the default javascript variable ‘Urls’ used to access the named urls by django setting

::

JS_REVERSE_JS_VAR_NAME = 'Urls'

Optionally, you can change the name of the global object the javascript variable used to access the named urls is attached to. Default is :code:this

::

JS_REVERSE_JS_GLOBAL_OBJECT_NAME = 'window'

Optionally, 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 = []

To exclude any namespaces from the generated javascript file, add them to the JS_REVERSE_EXCLUDE_NAMESPACES setting

::

JS_REVERSE_EXCLUDE_NAMESPACES = ['admin', 'djdt', ...]

If you want to include only specific namespaces add them to the JS_REVERSE_INCLUDE_ONLY_NAMESPACES setting tips:

• Use "" (empty string) for urls without namespace
• Use "foo\0" to include urls just from "foo" namaspace and not from any subnamespaces (e.g. "foo:bar")

::

JS_REVERSE_INCLUDE_ONLY_NAMESPACES = ['poll', 'calendar', ...]

If you run your application under a subpath, the collectstatic_js_reverse needs to take care of this. Define the prefix in your django settings:

::

JS_REVERSE_SCRIPT_PREFIX = '/myprefix/'

By default collectstatic_js_reverse writes its output (reverse.js) to your project's STATIC_ROOT. You can change the output path:

::

JS_REVERSE_OUTPUT_PATH = 'some_path'

Running the test suite

::

tox
