Question

In a django online course, the instructor has us use the url() function to call views and utilize regular expressions in the urlpatterns list. I\'ve seen other

Answer 1

From v2.0 many users are using path, but we can use either path or url. For example in django 2.1.1 mapping to functions through url can be done as follows

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path

from django.contrib.auth import login
from posts.views import post_home
from django.conf.urls import url

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    url(r'^posts/$', post_home, name='post_home'),

]

where posts is an application & post_home is a function in views.py
