URLs

reverse

from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse

reverse(viewname='myview',   # remaining args optional
        urlconf=None,
        args=(1, 2),
        kwargs={'pk': foo.pk},
        current_app=None)

redirect

from django.shortcuts import redirect
redirect(to, [permanent=False, ]*args, **kwargs)

Returns an HttpResponseRedirect to the appropriate URL for the arguments passed.

The arguments could be:

  • A model: the model’s get_absolute_url() function will be called.

  • A view name, possibly with arguments: urlresolvers.reverse() will be used to reverse-resolve the name.

  • A URL, which will be used as-is for the redirect location.

By default issues a temporary redirect; pass permanent=True to issue a permanent redirect

Examples

You can use the redirect() function in a number of ways.

  1. By passing some object; that object’s get_absolute_url() method will be called to figure out the redirect URL:

    def my_view(request):
        ...
        object = MyModel.objects.get(...)
        return redirect(object)
    
  2. By passing the name of a view and optionally some positional or keyword arguments; the URL will be reverse resolved using the reverse() method:

    def my_view(request):
        ...
        return redirect('some-view-name', foo='bar')
    
  3. By passing a hardcoded URL to redirect to:

    def my_view(request):
        ...
        return redirect('/some/url/')
    

    This also works with full URLs:

    def my_view(request):
        ...
        return redirect('http://example.com/')
    

By default, redirect() returns a temporary redirect. All of the above forms accept a permanent argument; if set to True a permanent redirect will be returned:

def my_view(request):
    ...
    object = MyModel.objects.get(...)
    return redirect(object, permanent=True)
