Is it possible to use the url template tag with DefaultRouter?

[fle...@fletchowns.net]

Let's say I've got the following in my urls.py:

from rest_framework import routers
from myproj import views

router = routers.DefaultRouter()
router.register(r'artist', views.ArtistViewSet)

If I want to use this API endpoint in one of my templates, I've just been hard coding it:

<form action="/myproj/artist/"></form>

Is it possible to use the url template tag to retrieve this url? Something like {% url 'myproj:artist' %} maybe? (I tried that but got the NoReverseMatch)

Thanks!

Yup absolutely.  Check out the view names in the documentation (last column in each table)

http://django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/routers.html

It'd be nice to provide some more informative debugging information about which routes are registered etc. Perhaps that'll happen at some point.

Hope that helps...

router.register(r'artist', views.ArtistViewSet, base_name='artist')

{% url 'myproj:artist-list' %}

Works great, thank you!!

Is it also possible to use {% url 'whatever' %} to get the url of a Function Based View? I can't seem to get it to work.

you need to define the url on urls.py

url('/your/url', 'your.views', name="url_name");

then in templates {% url 'url_name' %}
