Flagged URL patterns¶

Flagged URL patterns are an alternative to flagging views with decorators.

from flags.urls import flagged_path, flagged_paths, flagged_re_path, flagged_re_paths

flagged_path(flag_name, route, view, kwargs=None, name=None, state=True, fallback=None)¶

flagged_re_path(flag_name, route, view, kwargs=None, name=None, state=True, fallback=None)¶

Make a URL depend on the state of a feature flag.

flagged_path() can be used in place of Django's path().

flagged_re_path() can be used in place of Django's re_path().

The view and the fallback can both be a set of include()ed patterns but any matching URL patterns in the includes must match exactly in terms of regular expression, keyword arguments, and name, otherwise a 404 may be unexpectedly raised.

If a fallback is not given the flagged url will raise a 404 if the flag state does not match the required state.

urlpatterns = [
    flagged_path('MY_FLAG', 'a-url/', view_requiring_flag, state=True),
    flagged_re_path('MY_FLAG_WITH_FALLBACK', r'^another-url$', 
                    view_with_fallback, state=True, fallback=other_view)
    flagged_path('MY_FLAGGED_INCLUDE', 'myapp/', include('myapp.urls'),
                 state=True, fallback=other_view)
    flagged_re_path('MY_NEW_APP_FLAG', r'^mynewapp$', include('mynewapp.urls'),
                    state=True, fallback=include('myoldapp.urls'))
]

flagged_paths(flag_name, state=True, fallback=None)¶

flagged_re_paths(flag_name, state=True, fallback=None)¶

Flag multiple URLs in the same context with a context manager.

flagged_paths() returns a function that takes the same arguments as Django's path() and which will flag the pattern's view.

flagged_re_paths() returns a function that takes the same arguments as Django's re_path() and which will flag the pattern's view.

with flagged_paths('MY_FLAG') as path:
    flagged_url_patterns = [
        path('a-url/', view_requiring_flag),
    ]

urlpatterns = urlpatterns + flagged_url_patterns
