Is it possible to define Django urlpattern, which would get any number of same type parameters and pass them to a view?
Lets say I want to create a page which gets a list of numbers from url and sums them. So these would be valid urls:
/sum/10/99/12/
/sum/1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/
/sum/3/
I guess that view could look like this:
def sum_view(request, *args):
return render(request, 'sum.html', {'result': sum(args)})
Question is how should urlpattern look like? Maybe something like this:
url(r'^sum/((\d+)/)+$', views.sum_view)
But this way view gets only last number repeated twice: args == ('1/', '1'). What is the correct regular expression to get all the numbers passed ot the view?
You could capture a single argument, e.g. '1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/'
url(r'^sum/(?P<numbers>[\d/]+)$', views.sum_view)
The split the list in the view.
def sum_view(request, numbers):
processed_numbers = [int(x) for x in number.split('/') if x]
