`RoutablePageMixin`

.. module:: wagtail.contrib.routable_page

The RoutablePageMixin mixin provides a convenient way for a page to respond on multiple sub-URLs with different views. For example, a blog section on a site might provide several different types of index page at URLs like /blog/2013/06/, /blog/authors/bob/, /blog/tagged/python/, all served by the same page instance.

A Page using RoutablePageMixin exists within the page tree like any other page, but URL paths underneath it are checked against a list of patterns. If none of the patterns match, control is passed to subpages as usual (or failing that, a 404 error is thrown).

By default a route for r'^$' exists, which serves the content exactly like a normal Page would. It can be overridden by using @re_path(r'^$') or @path('') on any other method of the inheriting class.

The basics

To use RoutablePageMixin, you need to make your class inherit from both :class:wagtail.contrib.routable_page.models.RoutablePageMixin and {class}wagtail.models.Page, then define some view methods and decorate them with path or re_path.

These view methods behave like ordinary Django view functions, and must return an HttpResponse object; typically this is done through a call to django.shortcuts.render.

The path and re_path decorators from wagtail.contrib.routable_page.models.path are similar to the Django django.urls path and re_path functions. The former allows the use of plain paths and converters while the latter lets you specify your URL patterns as regular expressions.

Here's an example of an EventIndexPage with three views, assuming that an EventPage model with an event_date field has been defined elsewhere:

import datetime
from django.http import JsonResponse
from wagtail.fields import RichTextField
from wagtail.models import Page
from wagtail.contrib.routable_page.models import RoutablePageMixin, path


class EventIndexPage(RoutablePageMixin, Page):

    # Routable pages can have fields like any other - here we would
    # render the intro text on a template with {{ page.intro|richtext }}
    intro = RichTextField()

    @path('') # will override the default Page serving mechanism
    def current_events(self, request):
        """
        View function for the current events page
        """
        events = EventPage.objects.live().filter(event_date__gte=datetime.date.today())

        # NOTE: We can use the RoutablePageMixin.render() method to render
        # the page as normal, but with some of the context values overridden
        return self.render(request, context_overrides={
            'title': "Current events",
            'events': events,
        })

    @path('past/')
    def past_events(self, request):
        """
        View function for the past events page
        """
        events = EventPage.objects.live().filter(event_date__lt=datetime.date.today())

        # NOTE: We are overriding the template here, as well as few context values
        return self.render(
            request,
            context_overrides={
                'title': "Past events",
                'events': events,
            },
            template="events/event_index_historical.html",
        )

    # Multiple routes!
    @path('year/<int:year>/')
    @path('year/current/')
    def events_for_year(self, request, year=None):
        """
        View function for the events for year page
        """
        if year is None:
            year = datetime.date.today().year

        events = EventPage.objects.live().filter(event_date__year=year)

        return self.render(request, context_overrides={
            'title': "Events for %d" % year,
            'events': events,
        })

    @re_path(r'^year/(\d+)/count/$')
    def count_for_year(self, request, year=None):
        """
        View function that returns a simple JSON response that
        includes the number of events scheduled for a specific year
        """
        events = EventPage.objects.live().filter(event_date__year=year)

        # NOTE: The usual template/context rendering process is irrelevant
        # here, so we'll just return a HttpResponse directly
        return JsonResponse({'count': events.count()})

Rendering other pages

Another way of returning an HttpResponse is to call the serve method of another page. (Calling a page's own serve method within a view method is not valid, as the view method is already being called within serve, and this would create a circular definition).

For example, EventIndexPage could be extended with a next/ route that displays the page for the next event:

@path('next/')
def next_event(self, request):
    """
    Display the page for the next event
    """
    future_events = EventPage.objects.live().filter(event_date__gt=datetime.date.today())
    next_event = future_events.order_by('event_date').first()

    return next_event.serve(request)

Reversing URLs

{class}~models.RoutablePageMixin adds a {meth}~models.RoutablePageMixin.reverse_subpage method to your page model which you can use for reversing URLs. For example:

    # The URL name defaults to the view method name.
    >>> event_page.reverse_subpage('events_for_year', args=(2015, ))
    'year/2015/'

This method only returns the part of the URL within the page. To get the full URL, you must append it to the values of either the {attr}~wagtail.models.Page.url or the {attr}~wagtail.models.Page.full_url attribute on your page:

>>> event_page.url + event_page.reverse_subpage('events_for_year', args=(2015, ))
'/events/year/2015/'

>>> event_page.full_url + event_page.reverse_subpage('events_for_year', args=(2015, ))
'http://example.com/events/year/2015/'

Changing route names

The route name defaults to the name of the view. You can override this name with the name keyword argument on @path or re_path:

from wagtail.models import Page
from wagtail.contrib.routable_page.models import RoutablePageMixin, route


class EventPage(RoutablePageMixin, Page):
    ...

    @re_path(r'^year/(\d+)/$', name='year')
    def events_for_year(self, request, year):
        """
        View function for the events for year page
        """
        ...

>>> event_page.url + event_page.reverse_subpage('year', args=(2015, ))
'/events/year/2015/'
