How can I use dynamic URL patterns in Django?

In Django, you can use dynamic URL patterns by capturing variables in the URL using angle brackets. For example, you can define a URL pattern like path('article/<int:id>/', views.article_detail) to capture an article ID.

Can you give me an example of how to implement this in my views?

Sure! In your views.py, you can create a function like this:

from django.shortcuts import render

def article_detail(request, id):
    article = get_object_or_404(Article, pk=id)
    return render(request, 'article_detail.html', {'article': article})

What if I want to capture multiple parameters?

You can capture multiple parameters by adding them to the URL pattern. For example:

path('article/<int:id>/comment/<int:comment_id>/', views.comment_detail)

Then, in your view, you can define both parameters.

Thanks! Is there a way to make these patterns more flexible?

Yes! You can use regex in your URL patterns for more flexibility. For example:

re_path(r'^article/(?P<id>\d+)/$', views.article_detail)

This allows for more complex matching.
