Ajax redirection middleware for Django

What this?

This is a collection of useful middlware for Django with Ajax. For example, AngularJS has URL routing subsystem, which uses AJAX. In addition, it supports history push state. This mean, when you access the website with https://example.com/#/login, the addressbar shows https://example.com/login. However, accessing https://example.com/login, you will get 404, because the HTTP request is sent to https://example.com/login, not https://example.com/#/login. To avoid this problem, we should redirect the route to https://example.com/#/login, when accessing https://example.com/login.

This module provides middleware to avoid the problem.

How to use

Middleware

1. Add dj_ajax_redirect.middleware.AjaxRedirectionMiddleware to MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES on your setting.

Disable redirection

Middleware

Just add a new item named "DISABLE_REDIRECT", of which type is list. i.e. just like this:

DISABLE_REDIRECT = [
    r"^path_to_disable_redirect/disable$"
]

Note that static files are already added to disable list. Therefore, you don't need to add static urls.

In addition, the strings are treated as regexp-s.
