Django reverse() for JavaScript

Question

In my project I have a lot of Ajax methods, with external client-side scripts (I don\'t want to include JavaScript into templates!) and changing URLs is kind of pain for me

Answer 1

You can remove the parameters from the URL, and pass the dynamic parts as query parameters:

  $('#add-choice-button').on('click', function () {
    var thing_id = $(this).closest('.thing').attr('data-item-id');
    $.get('{% url 'addThing' %}?t='+thing_id, function (data) {
      ...
    });
  });
