In my url conf, I have several URL's which have the same named parameter, user_id. Is it possible to access this parameter either in a middleware - so I can generically pass it on to the context_data - or in the template itself?
Sample URL conf to illustrate the question:
url(r'^b/(?P<user_id>[0-9]+)/edit?$', user.edit.EditUser.as_view(), name='user_edit'),
url(r'^b/(?P<user_id>[0-9]+)/delete?$', user.delete.DeleteUser.as_view(), name='user_delete')
For class based views, the view is already available in the context, so you dont need to do anything on the view side. In the template, just do the following:
{{ view.kwargs.user_id }}
See this answer
If you need this data in the template, just override your view's get_context_data method:
class MyView(View):
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
context = super(MyView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
context['user_id'] = self.kwargs.get('user_id')
return context
For function based views:
template
{% url 'view' PARAM=request.resolver_match.kwargs.PARAM %}
views.py
def myview(request, PARAM):
