RE: Splitting views.py and urls.py into a directory rather than single files

[Mike Dewhirst]

I like the following method because it lets me start a project with a single 
file of views per app and then later when it grows, split it into named files 
in a 'views' directory - without needing to adjust other code which imports 
them.1. Create a views directory in the app dir2. Create __init__.py in the new 
directory3. Move the monster views.py into ./views renaming it to original.py 
or something similar.4. Split original.py into as many useful individual views 
files as desired - including separate utilities file(s) etc.5. In __init__.py 
import each view used by your urls.py using lines like ...   from .filename 
import ViewNameObviously, multiple views can be grouped into the same file so 
long as they are imported into views.__init__.py6. In urls.py you can then say 
...    import appname.views as appname_views... if that's not what you do 
already!--(Unsigned mail from my phone)

You can just directly declare an array of URL Patterns in a separate file
and then import that file in the url files you want to make the main urls
file

Splitting views.py and urls.py into a directory rather than single files

['Simon Connah' via Django users]

Hi,

I have an app which has a lot of views and URLs and keeping them in just one 
file makes it really hard to manage because it is so long. I'd like to make a 
views and URLs folder which will allow me to break up views and URLs into 
different categories but I'm not sure what the best way to go about doing that 
is.

Can someone point me in the right direction please?

Thank you!

Simon.
