i'm completely new to the django eco system, coming from flask.

what i want (and don't know how to accomplish) is to put some restrictions to a set of urls: x/<uuid>/images x/<uuid>/imageupload and others should only work, if uuid can be found in the database and is still valid.

in flask i would probably use a blueprint, but this concept does not seem to exist in django, right?

what i like about the blueprint concept is, that it's not possible to add a url under the x/<uuid> "namespace" and forgetting about the auth mechanism, as this is handled for all urls in the blueprint.

how would you handle this in django?

i've already learned about apps and a custom middleware, but this looks quite complicated on first sight? as the middleware always intercepts all requests, and i would have to check on my own if this is a request to x/<uuid>?

i've also looked at existing apps, and django-rq uses the statt_member_required decorator for each view. i will probably build something like that, but i would be more confident if i could apply this to the whole app, instead of having to decorate each function.

yeah it should definitely be part a of the url. It will be if you define a parametrized url. More details in the documentation https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/topics/http/urls/#url-dispatcher
