@ -12,17 +12,38 @@ your code, Django provides the following function:
.. function:: reverse(viewname, [urlconf=None, args=None, kwargs=None, current_app=None])
``viewname`` is either the function name (either a function reference, or the
string version of the name, if you used that form in ``urlpatterns``) or the
:ref:`URL pattern name <naming-url-patterns>`. Normally, you won't need to
worry about the ``urlconf`` parameter and will only pass in the positional and
keyword arguments to use in the URL matching. For example::
``viewname`` can be a string containing the Python path to the view object, a
:ref:`URL pattern name <naming-url-patterns>`, or the callable view object.
For example, given the following ``url``::
url(r'^archive/$', 'news.views.archive', name='news_archive')
you can use any of the following to reverse the URL::
# using the Python path
reverse('news.views.archive')
# using the named URL
reverse('news_archive')
# passing a callable object
from news import views
reverse(views.archive)
If the URL accepts arguments, you may pass them in ``args``. For example::
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
def myview(request):
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('arch-summary', args=[1945]))
You can also pass ``kwargs`` instead of ``args``. For example::
>>> reverse('admin:app_list', kwargs={'app_label': 'auth'})
'/admin/auth/'
``args`` and ``kwargs`` cannot be passed to ``reverse()`` at the same time.
If no match can be made, ``reverse()`` raises a
:class:`~django.core.urlresolvers.NoReverseMatch` exception.

namespaces into URLs on specific application instances, according to the
:ref:`namespaced URL resolution strategy <topics-http-reversing-url-namespaces>`.
You can use ``kwargs`` instead of ``args``. For example::
The ``urlconf`` argument is the URLconf module containing the url patterns to
use for reversing. By default, the root URLconf for the current thread is used.
>>> reverse('admin:app_list', kwargs={'app_label': 'auth'})
'/admin/auth/'
``args`` and ``kwargs`` cannot be passed to ``reverse()`` at the same time.
