What are Django namespace URLs and how do I use them?

Django namespace URLs allow you to organize your URL patterns into distinct groups, making it easier to manage them, especially in larger projects.

Can you give me an example of how to define a namespace in Django?

Sure! You can define a namespace in your urls.py file like this:

app_name = 'myapp'
urlpatterns = [
    path('', views.home, name='home'),
]

This sets the namespace for the app to 'myapp', allowing you to reference URLs as myapp:home.

How do I include URLs from different apps with namespaces?

You can include URLs from different apps by using the include() function in your project's main urls.py file. For example:

from django.urls import include, path

urlpatterns = [
    path('app1/', include('app1.urls', namespace='app1')),
    path('app2/', include('app2.urls', namespace='app2')),
]

What are the benefits of using namespaces?

Namespaces help avoid URL name collisions, improve code organization, and make it easier to reference URLs in templates and views.
