Django urls.py in a Javascript-heavy site

How do I “reverse” my API end points?

Basic hack: string suffixurls.py

url(r‘^api/billing/(?P<organization>[a-z0-9\-]+)/’, DetailAPIView.as_view(), name=‘api_detail’),url(r‘^api/billing/’, ListAPIView.as_view(), name=‘api_base’),url(r‘^billing/’, TemplateView.as_view( template_name=‘billing.hmtl’), name=‘list’),

billing.html<script type=“text/javascript”> app.constant('urls', { api_base : "{% url ‘api_base' %}”});</script>

app.js$http.get(urls.api_base, params: {q: val});

What if I cannot use suffixes?

url(r’^api/(?P<organization>[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/’, include(‘urls.api.billing’), decorators=[‘django.contrib.auth.decorators.login_required’]),

I use https://github.com/mila/django-urldecoratorsto add security checks and my urls.py look like:

Real hack: string replace

views.pykwargs.update({‘organization’: ‘PAT-organization’});api_pattern = reverse(‘api_detail’, *args, **kwargs);

app.js$http.get(urls.api_detail.replace(‘PAT-organization’, val));
