Installation by include()

[simonw]

Urgent instructions are to do this:

from django.urls import path
from django_sql_dashboard.views import dashboard, dashboard_index

urlpatterns = [
    path("dashboard/", dashboard_index, name="django_sql_dashboard-index"),
    path("dashboard/<slug>/", dashboard),
    # ...
]

Using include() here would be better, especially since the paths need to have fixed names that can be referenced in the templates.

I'm going to copy the pattern used by django-debug-toolbar:

import debug_toolbar
from django.conf import settings
from django.urls import include, path

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    path('__debug__/', include(debug_toolbar.urls)),
]

Where debug_toolbar.urls is defined here: https://github.com/jazzband/django-debug-toolbar/blob/8b280e196e21b73de10f22cc9bae0d566777dc35/debug_toolbar/__init__.py

urls = "debug_toolbar.toolbar", "djdt"

And debug_toolbar/toolbar.py contains this: https://github.com/jazzband/django-debug-toolbar/blob/8b280e196e21b73de10f22cc9bae0d566777dc35/debug_toolbar/toolbar.py

# ...
    @classmethod
    def get_urls(cls):
        if cls._urlpatterns is None:
            from . import views

            # Load URLs in a temporary variable for thread safety.
            # Global URLs
            urlpatterns = [
                path("render_panel/", views.render_panel, name="render_panel")
            ]
            # Per-panel URLs
            for panel_class in cls.get_panel_classes():
                urlpatterns += panel_class.get_urls()
            cls._urlpatterns = urlpatterns
        return cls._urlpatterns
# ...
urlpatterns = DebugToolbar.get_urls()
