[Answer]-Serving static HTML files without extension in Django

✅

I would write a view that handles adding the .html and configure a URLConf to use it.

The view

from django.conf import settings
from django.contrib.staticfiles.views import serve


def serve_html(request, file_name):
    if not file_name:
        file_name = 'index'

    file_path = '{}.html'.format(file_name)

    # Use Django staticfiles's serve view.
    return serve(request, file_path)

The URLConf

url(r'^(?P<file_name>.*)$', serve_html)

It is important to put the URLConf last in your urls.py otherwise, it will catch all requests and your other URLConfs will not be reached.
