Django reverse with a querystring

gistfile1.py

from django.utils.http import urlencode

def reverse_querystring(view, urlconf=None, args=None, kwargs=None, current_app=None, query_kwargs=None):
    '''Custom reverse to handle query strings.
    Usage:
        reverse('app.views.my_view', kwargs={'pk': 123}, query_kwargs={'search': 'Bob'})
    '''
    base_url = reverse(view, urlconf=urlconf, args=args, kwargs=kwargs, current_app=current_app)
    if query_kwargs:
        return '{}?{}'.format(base_url, urlencode(query_kwargs))
    return base_url

Hi ! Great solution ! 👍
query_kwargs={'search', 'Bob'} should be query_kwargs={'search': 'Bob'}
For the other hand, you missed a parenthesis in: '{}?{}'.format(base_url, urlencode(query_kwargs))

Otherwise you'll get a unpack error in urlencode() method.

Good spot! Fixed.

How on earth did you come across this snippet anyway!?

That ticket got marked resolved 5 weeks ago. It's not in 5.1, but in the pre-release 5.2 version.
