Just sharing thought here. Another approach that I use is creating an
"indirect" url and view that reads the url_name and args from
request.REQUEST, reverse the path, resolve the view and call it on
your behalf.
## urls.py
#
from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, url
urlpatterns = patterns('js.views',
url(r'^url_reverse/$', 'url_reverse', name='js_url_reverse'),
)
## views.py
#
from django import http
from django.core import urlresolvers
def url_reverse(request):
if request.method in ('GET', 'POST'):
data = getattr(request, request.method)
url_name = data.get('url_name')
try:
path = urlresolvers.reverse(url_name,
args=data.getlist('args'))
(view_func, args, kwargs) = urlresolvers.resolve(path)
return view_func(request, *args, **kwargs)
except urlresolvers.NoReverseMatch:
raise http.Http404
return http.HttpResponseNotAllowed(('GET', 'POST'))
Somewhere in javascript:
$.get('/js/url_reverse/', { url_name: "account_profile", args:
[username]});
Of cause, this approach exposes your url names to javascript. Some
people might not like it.
