Within Django the are 2 ways of using a URL parameter within a view. They are via URLConf or by using request.GET.<\/p>\n
With this method the URLConf file is configured to define your URL parameter via the use of regex.<\/p>\n
Say that we have a URL that is ‘www.domain.co.uk\/user=value’ and we want to grab ‘value’.
First we would configure our urls.py with,<\/p>\n
url(r'^user=(?P<user>\\d{5})$', 'domain.views.output'),<\/pre>\nThis “value” can then be passed to a function within your view. Such as,<\/p>\n
def output(request, user):<\/pre>\nrequest.GET<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe other way of achieving this is via the use of the request.GET method which is typically used when your url contains a question mark, such as ‘www.domain.co.uk\/?user=value’.<\/p>\n
First of all your urls.py is configured with a standard entry.<\/p>\n
url(r'^$', 'domain.views.output'),<\/pre>\nWe then use the request.GET to assign the “value” to the variable x.<\/p>\n
def output(request):
x = request.GET.get('user', '')<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
