**Django-js-urls** is a lightweight Django application allowing to easily get absolute path
references matching given URL names and optional parameters on the client side - just like
`reverse `_ does, but in a
Javascript fashion.

Main requirements
=================

Python 3.4+, Django 1.11+.

Installation
============

To install Django-js-urls, please use pip_ (or pipenv_) as follows:

.. code-block:: shell

$ pip install django-js-urls

Once installed you just need to add ``js_urls`` to ``INSTALLED_APPS`` in your project's settings
module:

.. code-block:: python

INSTALLED_APPS = (
# other apps
'js_urls',
)

URLs that are included in the Javascript helper tool are configured using a single ``JS_URL``
setting. This setting can embed URL namespaces or specific URL names that should be included in the
generated Javascript file. For example:

.. code-block:: python

JS_URLS = (
'admin',
'blog:article_list',
'blog:article_detail',
)

**Important:** only URLs defined in this setting will be included in the generated Javascript file.
You don't want to expose *all* the URLs of your Django project in a Javascript file.

Then you can include the view responsible for generating the Javascript file in your URLs root
module:

.. code-block:: python

from js_urls.views import JsUrlsView

urlpatterns = [
# other urls
url(r'^js-urls/$', JsUrlsView.as_view(), name='js_urls'),
]

And finally you can include the Javascript script in your base template as follows:

.. code-block:: html

Usage
=====

URLs included in the generated Javascript file can be used in your scripts by using the
``window.reverse`` function. Here are some example:

.. code-block:: javascript

const url1 = window.reverse('home');
const url2 = window.reverse('blog:article_list');
const url3 = window.reverse('blog:article_detail', articleId);
const url4 = window.reverse('blog:article_detail', [articleId, ]);
const url5 = window.reverse('blog:article_detail', { pk: articleId });

Settings
========

JS_URLS
-------

Default: ``[]``

The ``JS_URLS`` setting allows to define URL namespaces or specific URL names that should be
included in the generated Javascript file.

JS_URLS_FUNCTION_NAME
---------------------

Default: ``'reverse'``

The ``JS_URLS_FUNCTION_NAME`` setting allows customize the name of the function used to reverse
URLs on the client side. This function is made available through the ``window`` global object.
