Description

It would be practical to visualize all the urls of the application in a command, is it possible?. If it is not possible, it is something like this:

python manage.py routes

django-extensions has a show_urls command which "produce a tab-separated list of (url_pattern, view_function, name) tuples for a project." I'm not sure that this needs to be incorporated into Django itself.

I understand, but I depend on an extension. Tell me if you consider it to integrate it into the framework and I could send an RP. Thanks!

Can I suggest that its worth taking to the developers mailing list to discuss this possibility? As an anecdotal datapoint, I know I semi-frequently make use such a command when coming into a project which I've not previously been heavily involved with. The flat output (vs traversing a list of include() usages) gives a decent overview on what's what, and the contrib.admindocs package already provides a similar overview if installed into the admin.

It also isn't a huge amount of new work (in my mind, because I wrote a similar thing to the django-extensions command) precisely because it can depend on the same functions admindocs does. So the maintenance burden is arguably mostly already in place.

I think what Keryn Knight said is good. If approved, I could work on the ticket and send a PR.

Someone could try to get a consensus on the DevelopersMailingList about this. I've never had a need for it myself. A rough criteria I've used for thinking about whether or not something should be in core is whether 80% of projects use it. The existence of an implementation in django-extensions demonstrates this can live as a third-party library which seems sufficient to me.

Discussion at DjangoCon US 2022 suggests it would be a popular enough feature.

Link to post in the forum where consensus seems quite clear.

I have the feature finished I just haven't had time to finished up the tests and documentation. Hopefully my day job will slow down a bit and I can get a PR in next month.

Not sure if this change was made intentionally or by mistake.

Do you still plan to make these changes?

Replying to Adam Johnson:
Could we push this feature?

I've pinged Chris under the Github issue and with his approval, I'm taking the task. My plan is, first to consider which formatting options are needed, then to push the finalized version this weekend.
