[Django]-Django slug url in perisan 404

This is an addition to Selcuk answer given here

to pass such language/unicode characters you have to

1. Write some custom path converter
2. Use re_path() function
   

   ---

1 . Custom path converter

If we look into the source code of Django, the slug path converter uses this regex,
[-a-zA-Z0-9_]+ which is inefficent here (see Selcuk’s answer).

So, Write your own custom slug converter , as below

from django.urls.converters import SlugConverter


class CustomSlugConverter(SlugConverter):
    regex = '[-\w]+' # new regex pattern

Then register it,

from django.urls import path, register_converter

register_converter(CustomSlugConverter, 'custom_slug')

urlpatterns = [
    path('question/<custom_slug:question_slug>/add_vote/', views.AddVoteQuestionView.as_view()),
    ...
]

2. using re_path()

You’ve already tried and succeeded with this method. Anyway, I’m c&p it here 🙂

from django.urls import re_path

urlpatterns = [
    re_path(r'question/(?P<question_slug>[\w-]+)/add_vote/$', views.AddVoteQuestionView.as_view()),
    ...
]
