Hi,
I'm struggling to get the syntax right for a url reverse function.
I have a form that asks for a Model type (ChoiceField with strings)
and a year (CharField).
The logic then if/elifs the ChoiceField and then redirects to the
appropriate report page (for statistics on the Model type), with an
optional year. I've got the urls and the views working, but passing
the year arg to the view via the reverse function is not obvious to
me, and nothing I've tried seems to work?
example code:
forms.py
class ReportRequestForm(forms.Form):
DATA_TYPES =
((1,'Students'),(2,'Enrolments'),(3,'Applicants'),(4,'Staff'),(5,'Results'))
year = forms.CharField(max_length=4)
data_type = forms.ChoiceField(choices=DATA_TYPES)
views.py
def ReportRequestForm(self):
...
if form.is_valid():
year = int(form.cleaned_data['year'])
data_type = form.cleaned_data['data_type']
if data_type == '1':
return redirect(reverse('student-reports',{year=year,}))
elif data_type == '2':
return redirect(reverse('applicant-reports',{year=year,}))
elif data_type == '3':
return redirect(reverse('enrolment-reports',{year=year,}))
elif data_type == '4':
return redirect(reverse('staff-reports',{year=year,}))
This {year=year} syntax looks odd to me. I recommend to use either dict(year=year) or {'year': year}.
What is the correct syntax?
Cheers
