URL Routing

Code

# project/urls.py
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [
    path("admin/", admin.site.urls),
    path("articles/", include("articles.urls")),
    path("api/", include("api.urls")),
]

# articles/urls.py
from django.urls import path
from . import views

app_name = "articles"
urlpatterns = [
    path("", views.ArticleListView.as_view(), name="list"),
    path("<int:pk>/", views.ArticleDetailView.as_view(), name="detail"),
    path("create/", views.ArticleCreateView.as_view(), name="create"),
]

Explanation

path() maps a URL pattern to a view, while include() delegates a prefix to another app's urls module. Path converters like <int:pk> capture typed segments passed as kwargs to the view. Naming URLs with name and app_name enables reverse() and the {% url %} template tag.
