.. _routable_page_mixin:
=====================
``RoutablePageMixin``
=====================
.. module:: wagtail.contrib.routable_page
The ``RoutablePageMixin`` mixin provides a convenient way for a page to respond on multiple sub-URLs with different views. For example, a blog section on a site might provide several different types of index page at URLs like ``/blog/2013/06/``, ``/blog/authors/bob/``, ``/blog/tagged/python/``, all served by the same page instance.
A ``Page`` using ``RoutablePageMixin`` exists within the page tree like any other page, but URL paths underneath it are checked against a list of patterns. If none of the patterns match, control is passed to subpages as usual (or failing that, a 404 error is thrown).
By default a route for ``r'^$'`` exists, which serves the content exactly like a normal ``Page`` would. It can be overridden by using ``@route(r'^$')`` on any other method of the inheriting class.
Installation
============
Add ``"wagtail.contrib.routable_page"`` to your INSTALLED_APPS:
.. code-block:: python
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
"wagtail.contrib.routable_page",
]
The basics
==========
To use ``RoutablePageMixin``, you need to make your class inherit from both :class:`wagtail.contrib.routable_page.models.RoutablePageMixin` and :class:`wagtail.models.Page`, then define some view methods and decorate them with ``wagtail.contrib.routable_page.models.route``. These view methods behave like ordinary Django view functions, and must return an ``HttpResponse`` object; typically this is done through a call to ``django.shortcuts.render``.
Here's an example of an ``EventIndexPage`` with three views, assuming that an ``EventPage`` model with an ``event_date`` field has been defined elsewhere:
.. code-block:: python
import datetime
from django.http import JsonResponse
from wagtail.fields import RichTextField
from wagtail.models import Page
from wagtail.contrib.routable_page.models import RoutablePageMixin, route
class EventIndexPage(RoutablePageMixin, Page):
# Routable pages can have fields like any other - here we would
# render the intro text on a template with {{ page.intro|richtext }}
intro = RichTextField()
@route(r'^$') # will override the default Page serving mechanism
def current_events(self, request):
"""
View function for the current events page
"""
events = EventPage.objects.live().filter(event_date__gte=datetime.date.today())
# NOTE: We can use the RoutablePageMixin.render() method to render
# the page as normal, but with some of the context values overridden
return self.render(request, context_overrides={
'title': "Current events",
'events': events,
})
@route(r'^past/$')
def past_events(self, request):
"""
View function for the past events page
"""
events = EventPage.objects.live().filter(event_date__lt=datetime.date.today())
# NOTE: We are overriding the template here, as well as few context values
return self.render(
request,
context_overrides={
'title': "Past events",
'events': events,
},
template="events/event_index_historical.html",
)
# Multiple routes!
@route(r'^year/(\d+)/$')
@route(r'^year/current/$')
def events_for_year(self, request, year=None):
"""
View function for the events for year page
"""
if year is None:
year = datetime.date.today().year
events = EventPage.objects.live().filter(event_date__year=year)
return self.render(request, context_overrides={
'title': "Events for %d" % year,
'events': events,
})
@route(r'^year/(\d+)/count/$')
def count_for_year(self, request, year=None):
"""
View function that returns a simple JSON response that
includes the number of events scheduled for a specific year
"""
events = EventPage.objects.live().filter(event_date__year=year)
# NOTE: The usual template/context rendering process is irrelevant
# here, so we'll just return a HttpResponse directly
return JsonResponse({'count': events.count()})
Rendering other pages
=====================
Another way of returning an ``HttpResponse`` is to call the ``serve`` method of another page. (Calling a page's own ``serve`` method within a view method is not valid, as the view method is already being called within ``serve``, and this would create a circular definition).
For example, ``EventIndexPage`` could be extended with a ``next/`` route that displays the page for the next event:
.. code-block:: python
@route(r'^next/$')
def next_event(self, request):
"""
Display the page for the next event
"""
future_events = EventPage.objects.live().filter(event_date__gt=datetime.date.today())
next_event = future_events.order_by('event_date').first()
return next_event.serve(request)
Reversing URLs
==============
:class:`~models.RoutablePageMixin` adds a :meth:`~models.RoutablePageMixin.reverse_subpage` method to your page model which you can use for reversing URLs. For example:
.. code-block:: python
# The URL name defaults to the view method name.
>>> event_page.reverse_subpage('events_for_year', args=(2015, ))
'year/2015/'
This method only returns the part of the URL within the page. To get the full URL, you must append it to the values of either the :attr:`~wagtail.models.Page.url` or the :attr:`~wagtail.models.Page.full_url` attribute on your page:
.. code-block:: python
>>> event_page.url + event_page.reverse_subpage('events_for_year', args=(2015, ))
'/events/year/2015/'
>>> event_page.full_url + event_page.reverse_subpage('events_for_year', args=(2015, ))
'http://example.com/events/year/2015/'
Changing route names
--------------------
The route name defaults to the name of the view. You can override this name with the ``name`` keyword argument on ``@route``:
.. code-block:: python
from wagtail.models import Page
from wagtail.contrib.routable_page.models import RoutablePageMixin, route
class EventPage(RoutablePageMixin, Page):
...
@route(r'^year/(\d+)/$', name='year')
def events_for_year(self, request, year):
"""
View function for the events for year page
"""
...
.. code-block:: python
>>> event_page.url + event_page.reverse_subpage('year', args=(2015, ))
'/events/year/2015/'
The ``RoutablePageMixin`` class
===============================
.. automodule:: wagtail.contrib.routable_page.models
.. autoclass:: RoutablePageMixin
.. automethod:: render
.. automethod:: get_subpage_urls
.. automethod:: resolve_subpage
Example:
.. code-block:: python
view, args, kwargs = page.resolve_subpage('/past/')
response = view(request, *args, **kwargs)
.. automethod:: reverse_subpage
Example:
.. code-block:: python
url = page.url + page.reverse_subpage('events_for_year', kwargs={'year': '2014'})
.. _routablepageurl_template_tag:
The ``routablepageurl`` template tag
====================================
.. currentmodule:: wagtail.contrib.routable_page.templatetags.wagtailroutablepage_tags
.. autofunction:: routablepageurl
Example:
.. code-block:: html+django
{% load wagtailroutablepage_tags %}
{% routablepageurl page "feed" %}
{% routablepageurl page "archive" 2014 08 14 %}
{% routablepageurl page "food" foo="bar" baz="quux" %}
