How to implement List in .Net?

Django (web framework): How can I implement a urlpattern that passes a list of strings to the view?

  • For example: I have a url like this: http://mysite/StringA/StringB/StringN And I want to always process this with the same view, but I would like the view to receive a list ['StringA', 'StringB', 'StringN'] for processing. Is there an easy way to setup http://urls.py to pass this information along, or would it be easier to just setup a regex to capture any URL and have the view parse the URL afterwards?

  • Answer:

    I have been experimenting and there are several ways to do this, the summary is that you just need to match all characters and front slashes. If you want your URLs to include numbers or other characters, you need to include that too. In your http://urls.py (preferably after your other routes, since this stands to intercept a lot): 1(r'^/([A-Za-z/]+)','home.views.blarg'), And assuming you have a controller called home, in http://views.py you need a method like this: 1def blarg(request, arguments): Here, arguments will contain a string of the fully called path, excluding the base of home. As per the question, you can split it into a list like so: 1arglist = arguments.split('/')

If you want to catch any URL that matches 3 levels then: url(r'^(?P<stringA>.*)/(?P<stringB>.*)/(?P<stringN>.*)/$', 'views.myview'), def myview(request, stringA, stringB, stringN):     return render(request, 'template.html') where the actual values are in the view parameters. This will match both: http://example.com/one/two/three/ http://example.com/a/b/c/ OTOH if you want to match verbatim just do: url(r'^stringA/stringB/stringN/$', 'views.myview'), def myview(request):     return render(request, 'template.html') If you need to match another string sequence just define a new URL pattern in http://urls.py and point it to the same (or another) view function.
