Add URLS from a Django App

Question

I'd like to add URLs from a Django app I'm adding within settings.py
I've tried adding urls.py in the hopes it would work but it doesn't
(because it only reads the project/project/urls.py and not project/app/urls.py)

How can I make the app add urls?

Answer 1

Use the include function, like this:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
                       url(r'^some_base_url/', include('your_app.urls')),
                       )

Including other urlconfs is described in the docs.

Answer 2

Don't forget to import include from django.conf.urls. Your in your project urls.py:

from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url

urlpatterns = patterns('',
                       url(r'^SOME_BASE_URL/', include('APP_NAME.urls')),
                       )

This assumes you have some URLs defined in your app urls.py as well.

For example, for a class-based generic view to appear at /SOME_BASE_URL/, your app's urls.py would look something like the following:

from django.conf.urls import patterns, url

from .views import SomeView

urlpatterns = patterns('',
                       url(r'^$', SomeView.as_view(), name='some_name'),
                       )

Answer 3

First, you need to go to the urls.py file of your project. There you need to import include along with path.

from django.urls import path, include

Add URLs patterns

urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('cv/', include('app_cv.urls')),
]

Note: app_cv is my app.
That link will take you to the urls of app_cv. Now also add urls in your app. Inside your app create the file named urls.py. In that file

from django.urls import path
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
path('',views.index)
]
