==================

A nicer version of `patterns()` for use with class based views. Inspired

largely by Loic.

What is this?

-------------

If you're a big fan of class based views in Django, you might often find your

urls.py starting to look a little cluttered. Something like::

    from django.conf.urls import patterns, url

    from ponies import views

    urlpatterns = patterns('',

        url(r'^$', views.Index.as_view(), name='index'),

        url(r'^ponies/$', views.PonyList.as_view(), name='pony-list'),

        url(r'^ponies/create/$', views.PonyCreate.as_view(), name='pony-create'),

        url(r'^ponies/(?P\d+)/$', views.PonyDetail.as_view(), name='pony-detail'),

        url(r'^ponies/(?P\d+)/edit/$', views.PonyUpdate.as_view(), name='pony-update'),

    )

The shortcuts you can use in patterns are really functional-view specific. The

functional version looks much nicer::

    from django.conf.urls import patterns, url

    urlpatterns = patterns('ponies.views',

        url(r'^$', 'index', name='index'),

        url(r'^ponies/$', 'pony_list', name='pony-list'),

        url(r'^ponies/create/$', 'pony_create', name='pony-create'),

        url(r'^ponies/(?P\d+)/$', 'pony_detail', name='pony-detail'),

        url(r'^ponies/(?P\d+)/edit/$', 'pony_update, name='pony-update'),

    )

So we can now have a class based view version which has the same feel::

    from cbvpatterns import patterns, url

    urlpatterns = patterns('ponies.views',

        url(r'^$', 'Index', name='index'),

        url(r'^ponies/$', 'PonyList', name='pony-list'),

        url(r'^ponies/create/$', 'PonyCreate', name='pony-create'),

        url(r'^ponies/(?P\d+)/$', 'PonyDetail', name='pony-detail'),

        url(r'^ponies/(?P\d+)/edit/$', 'PonyUpdate, name='pony-update'),

    )

You can also pass in the actual view classes directly, rather than using the

string representation.
