Feature proposal: dev management command for listing URLs

[David-Guillot]

Hi there,

@Contexte we're happily using django-hosts, it fits our use case perfectly.

There is one thing that could be better for us: before integrating django-hosts in our codebase, we were often using django-extensions' show_urls management command, to get, as developers, a full view of all possible URLs of our website. But now of course, this command is only listing our main hosts URLs, and it's not possible for us to get the same feature for other hosts than the main one.

@hramezani would you find it useful to have a management command like hosts_show_urls (--host=whatever) that would do about the same? If so, my team is willing to contribute a PR about it (in the next few weeks/months) 😉

Hi @David-Guillot ,

Agree, this can be a nice thing to add. Please remember to not add an dependency(like django-extensions) for this management command.

Thank you, we'll let you know 😉

We use django-hosts and django-extension as well, and indeed it broke django-extensions show_urls.
I am willing to do the PR to fix it, if it has a chance to be merged. If yes, just give the general guidelines to make it work, and I will make it the way intended.
Ah, I noticed that this package is one of the few that made the very unfortunate choice to be transfered to jazzband and is now stuck in limbo because jazzband owner stopped answering github years ago. We will have to wait for this package to be transfered to django-commons one day.

Or, @hramezani , you seem to have the merge right now, am I wrong? You said on May 10, 2024 in #167 (comment) that you don't have it, but I saw you merged #177 3 weeks ago.

@deronnax, it was about admin access on the repo. I am a member of Jazzband and can merge the PR. I think every member of Jazzband can also merge PRs.

I am also a project lead in this project. That means I can release the package. Unfortunately, I don't have time to focus on this project. If you are interested, you can ask on help repo to be a project lead.

So, if you make a simple and easy-to-review PR, I will probably review/merge it(can't say when. sorry).

[deronnax]

OK, good to me. Don't worry, I don't ask for perfect handling of the PR, just for the PR not to rot standing (I have seen it countless times). I am not interested in taking higher stakes in the project so far (I don't use it often, it just happen to be used in the company I work at the moment).
Do you have some high level guideline to give about how you would seen the thing done? Thank you

about fixing the listing of urls: should we add a command, or change the way show_urls works? Claude suggests show_urls could be reimplemented leveraging django urls handling functions like get_urlconf
