What is Django URL namespacing and how do I use it?

Django URL namespacing allows you to organize your URL patterns by grouping them under a specific namespace. This is particularly useful when you have multiple apps with similar URL patterns.

Can you give me an example of how to implement URL namespacing?

Sure! First, in your app's urls.py, you can define a namespace like this:

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

Then, in your project's main urls.py, include the app's URLs with the namespace:

path('myapp/', include('myapp.urls', namespace='myapp')),

How do I reference a namespaced URL in a template?

You can reference a namespaced URL in a template using the url template tag like this:

<a href="{% url 'myapp:home' %}">Home</a>
