Discussion on: Django + Svelte = Best Dev Experience (DX)

[Nathanael]

Hi Ashraf,
Thank you for this article. It is very informative and enjoyable to follow.
If I may, I want to ask about the routing part.

On project-level url pattern list, you add:

path('example/', include('example.urls'))

I want to serve the svelte-part on root url so I tried to adapt with:

path('', include('example.urls'))

My all urlpatterns are:

    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('', include('example.urls')),

but when I build-run-open in browser: localhost:8000/admin,
The app seems to ignore my 'admin/' urlpattern and got handled by routify instead (which then show 404 error page because there's no 'admin/' routes configured on routify).

My question is: is it possible to let django serve svelte-routify on root url without ignoring other urlpattern rules on django's urls.py?

Thanks in advance

I asked the Routify Discord first if they have any idea on how to do it. If any update I will reply to this comment and/or update the tutorial

First of all sorry, for the late reply. I haven't been checking up with Dev.to in a while.

Honestly, I don't know. I haven't try it that way yet.
I will try to investigate if its possible to force the browser to stop SPA mode and make a request to the Django Server

Hi,

I received an answer from the Discord already.

with this, I made some changes to the configurations, and found that it is indeed possible to have Django server the request to admin page.

currently my url are as above.

then what I did was change the url to become

what I found was that the root was serve by Routify

while admin is being serve by django

I hope this helps...
