Hello,
When defining URLs, I prefer named URLs. I like to define these names as
constants, so I can use the contants in other files. Probably an
old habit from my days as a Java developer, but I still think it is better
than using the string all over the place. Here's an example:
URL_USER_REGISTER = 'user-register'
URL_USER_ACCOUNT = 'user-account'
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^register/$', views.register, name = URL_USER_REGISTER),
url(r'^accounts/$', views.account, name = URL_USER_ACCOUNT),
)
Then, I can use urls. URL_USER_ACCOUNT for redirecting in my view code.
Note that I'm using the view function directly in the url() function, rather
than specifying a view name. That's because I like the extra layer of error
checking: a missing view function can easily be detected by my IDE.
The problem: I'm getting a circular import here. I cannot import the urls
from the views and the views from the urls.
Considering that I want to keep the above two practices (constants and
passing view functions), is there a solution for that?
I can take the constants to a separate module, but that seems like an
overkill. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Zviki
