urlman 1.1.0

A nicer way to do URLs for Django models.

Replaces things like get_absolute_url with a .urls attribute that can reference other URLs and build sensible trees of things, and can then be accessed using instance.urls.name.

Example:

import urlman

model Group(models.Model):

...

    class urls(urlman.Urls):
        view = "/{self.slug}/"
        users = "{view}users/"
        admin = "{view}admin/"


def my_view(request):
    group = ...
    return redirect(group.urls.view)

It’s suggested that you use “view” as the equivalent name for get_absolute_url, and have a function like this on your model:

def get_absolute_url(self):
    return self.urls.view

To build a full URL use the full method like this:

def my_view(request):
    group = ...
    return redirect(group.urls.admin.full(scheme='https'))
