Question

Essentially I’m trying to do the opposite of what django-ds-utils does, which is get URL argument out of a resolved URL, for instance, take the following URL definition:

url(r'^reset_pwd/(?P<code>[A-Za-z0-9]+)/$', ResetPasswordView.as_view(), name='my.registration.views.reset_pwd'),

On that page, within JS, I would like to retrieve <code> into a kwargs array. Is this something that exists, or is there a standard approach to this?

Answer 1

AFAIK there is no standard approach. You can:

• put JS into template and render view variable
• pass variable in JS globals, setting it’s value in template text
• parse window.location
  …etc.

I personally prefer the second way, e.g. put this code in template and then use _reset_pw_code global in javascript file:

<script> var _reset_pw_code = "{{ reset_code|escapejs }}" </script>
