What are Django URL patterns and namespaces?

Can you explain what Django URL patterns are?

Django URL patterns are used to route incoming web requests to the appropriate view based on the URL. They are defined in the urls.py file.

What is the purpose of using namespaces in Django?

Namespaces in Django help to organize URL patterns and avoid naming conflicts, especially when using included URL configurations.

How do I define a URL pattern with a namespace?

You can define a URL pattern with a namespace by using the app_name variable in your urls.py file and referencing it in your URL patterns.

Can you give me an example of a URL pattern with a namespace?

Sure! Here's an example:

app_name = 'blog'
urlpatterns = [
    path('post/<int:id>/', views.post_detail, name='post_detail'),
]

This defines a URL pattern for a blog post detail view with a namespace 'blog'.
