I would like to make a lists page with item such as /lists and have items such as /lists/node-js The url pattern I'm using is this -
url(r'^lists/(?P<foo>[\w\-]+)/$', views.lists_template, name='lists_template'),
but due to this /lists does not work and shows a page not found error.How do I solve this?
You use the wrong quantifier: in a regex, the + means one or more, whereas * means zero or more.
If you want to match the empty string as well, you thus need the * quantifier.
Furthermore we need to be able to make the last slash optional, since otherwise two slashes are required. So we can use the ? quantifier which means optional.
url(r'^lists/(?P[\w\-]*)/?$', views.lists_template, name='lists_template'),
+with*.
