Redirecting a View to another View in Django Python

Question

How does one redirect from one View to another (next-going one):

class FooView(TemplateView):
  template_name 'foo.html'

  def post(self, *args, **kwargs):
    return redirect(BarView)
    # return redirect(BarView.as_view()) ???

class BarView(TemplateView):
  template_name 'bar.html'

Answer 1

Give the URL pattern itself a name in your urls.py:

url('/bar/', BarView.as_view(), name='bar')

and just pass it to redirect:

return redirect('bar')

Answer 2

You can use the redirect for that, if you've given the view a name in urls.py.

from django.shortcuts import redirect
return redirect('some-view-name')
