Django Javascript中的DRY URL

Question

I'm using Django on Appengine. I'm using the django reverse() function everywhere, keeping everything as DRY as possible.

However, I'm having trouble applying this to my client-side javascript. There is a JS class that loads some data depending on a passed-in ID. Is there a standard way to not-hardcode the URL that this data should come from?

var rq = new Request.HTML({
    'update':this.element,
}).get('/template/'+template_id+'/preview'); //The part that bothers me.

Answer 1

The most reasonable solution seems to be passing a list of URLs in a JavaScript file, and having a JavaScript equivalent of reverse() available on the client. The only objection might be that the entire URL structure is exposed.

Here is such a function (from this question).
