Menu
I understand that request.path will give me the current URL.
I am currently working on my base.html template with CSS tabs and I want the template to know which tab is currently "active" and pass class="active-tab" to an <a> tag.
So I wanted to do something like
<a href="{% url orders_list %}"
{% if request.path = reverse('orders_list') %}
class="active-tab"
{$ endif %}
>Orders</a>
But I'm sure you can't do that if comparison. I also only want the base (?) URL ignoring any GET parameters.
Any suggestions or tips also welcomed. Thanks in advance!

reverse_lazy()providing a reversed URL as the url attribute of a generic class-based view. providing a reversed URL to a decorator (such as the login_url argument for the django.
{{ foo }} - this is a placeholder in the template, for the variable foo that is passed to the template from a view. {% %} - when text is surrounded by these delimiters, it means that there is some special function or code running, and the result of that will be placed here.
In Django 2.0, you use the path() method with path converters to capture URL parameters. path() always matches the complete path, so path('account/login/') is equivalent to url('^account/login/$') . The part in angle brackets ( <int:post_id> ) captures a URL parameter that is passed to a view.
You can do that by using request. META['HTTP_REFERER'] , but it will exist if only your tab previous page was from your website, else there will be no HTTP_REFERER in META dict . So be careful and make sure that you are using . get() notation instead.
Building on Josh's answer, you can use a simple 'if' tag:
{% url 'orders_list' as orders_list_url %}
<a{% if request.path == orders_list_url %} class="active"{% endif %}
href="{{ orders_list_url }}">Orders</a>
