adding multiple values in django path - django

Question

I have the following paths set up:
urlpatterns = [
path("", views.index, name="index"),
path('entry/<str:title>', views.entry, name='entry'),
]
my entry method is:
def entry(request,title):
entries = []
entry = util.get_entry(title)
if entry != None:
entries.append(entry)
return render(request, "encyclopedia/entry.html", {
"title": title,
"entries": entries,
})
and in my html we have:
{% block body %}
<h1>All Pages</h1>
<ul>
{% for entry in entries %}
<li>
a href = "{% url 'entry' title=entry %}" >{{ entry }}</a>
</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% endblock %}
two questions:
Is this the right way to pass parameters with a link?
What would I need to change to pass multiple parameters?

Answer 1

Is this the right way to pass parameters with a link?
Yes, by using the {% url … %} template tag [Django-doc] you calculate the path for a given view name and parameter(s).
There is however a small error in the HTML: you need to open the <a> tag, and furthermore not use spaces between the equal sign (=):
{{ entry }}
What would I need to change to pass multiple parameters?
You define extra parameters in the view, for example:
urlpatterns = [
# …,
path('entry/<str:title>/<str:theme>/', views.entry, name='entry'),
]
and you specify values for the two parameters:
{{ entry }}
the view then takes three parameters:
def entry(request, title, theme):
# …
