[FIXED] Get view function from request uri?

Issue

Given a uri like /home/ I want to find the view function that this corresponds to, preferably in a form like app.views.home or just <app_label>.<view_func>. Is there a function that will give me this?

Solution

You can use the resolve method provided by django to get the function. You can use the __module__ attribute of the function returned to get the app label. This will return a string like project.app.views. So something like this:

from django.urls import resolve

myfunc, myargs, mykwargs = resolve("/hello_world/")
mymodule = myfunc.__module__

In case one needs the class of the view since a class based view is being used one can access the view_class of the returned function:

view_class = myfunc.view_class
