access django urls from javascript

Question

 url(r'^(?P<code>[-\w]+)/$',views.Listing.as_view(),name='stat_details'),

How can I access this django url from my javascript file where I am sending an ajax call to this url:

/mycode/

$(document).ready(function(){
  var url = {% url stat_details code='abc' %}.replace('abc', 'mycode');
  alert(url);
  $.ajax({
      url: url,
      success:function(result){
        populateTable(result.data.m_data);
      },
      error:function(xhr){
        alert("Fail"+ xhr.status+ " "+ xhr.responseText);
      }
  });
});

This doesn't work.Can someone help me in correcting this.

Thanks

Firstly,to avoid any confusion,update your URL as :

url(r'^stat_details/(?P<code>[-\w]+)/$',views.Listing.as_view(),name='stat_details'),

And then render your url just as a string like this :

<script>
    $(document).ready(function(){
      var code = your_code;
      var url = "/stat_details/"+ code;
      alert(url);
      $.ajax({
          url: url,
          success:function(result){
            populateTable(result.data.m_data);
          },
          error:function(xhr){
            alert("Fail"+ xhr.status+ " "+ xhr.responseText);
          }
      });
    });

</script>

You don't need to complicate the URL request process and please don't forget the first / in var url = "/stat_details/"+ code; And if the method is post,then you should also mention it. Thanks.

yeah this worked. can you also tell how can I access a django variable rendered to a html page in javascript?

@lola A Django template variable can be rendered as "{{your_variable}}" in Javascript code and Don't forget the " " double quotes.
