python - Same view with multiple URL patterns and optional arguments -

i trying design urlconf file, 1 of views accepts 2 optional parameters: date , account_uuid.

views.py:

@login_required def dashboard(request, date=none, account_uuid=none):     # unrelated code... 

urls.py:

urlpatterns = patterns(     'app.views',     url(r'^dashboard$',         'dashboard',         name='dashboard'),     #what here?? ) 

user may visit url contains 1 or both parameters.

without arguments:

http://example.com/dashboard

with date (ddmmyyy format) should like:

http://example.com/dashboard/01042015

with account uuid only:

http://example.com/dashboard/e1c0b81e-2332-4e5d-bc0a-895bd0dbd658

both date , account uuid:

http://example.com/dashboard/01042015/e1c0b81e-2332-4e5d-bc0a-895bd0dbd658

how should design urlconf? should easly readable , fast.

thanks!

using multiple patterns easiest way achieve this:

urlpatterns = patterns('app.views',     url(r'^dashboard$', 'dashboard', name='dashboard'),     url(r'^dashboard/(?p<date>[\d]{8})/$', 'dashboard', name='dashboard'),     url(r'^dashboard/(?p<account_uid>[\da-za-z-]{36})/$', 'dashboard', name='dashboard'),     url(r'^dashboard/(?p<date>[\d]{8})/(?p<account_uid>[\da-z-]{36})/$', 'dashboard', name='dashboard'), )
