Capturing URL parameters in request.GET

by

When a URL is like domain/search/?q=haha, you would use request.GET.get('q', '').

q is the parameter you want, and '' is the default value if q isn’t found.

However, if you are instead just configuring your URLconf**, then your captures from the regex are passed to the function as arguments (or named arguments).

Such as:

(r'^user/(?P<username>\w{0,50})/$', views.profile_page,),

Then in your views.py you would have

def profile_page(request, username):
    # Rest of the method
