Path Name → Url

let's say we have urls like below:

# proj/urls.py

urlpatterns = [
                  path('', admin.site.urls),
                  path('report/purchase/', include('purchase.urls')),
]

# proj/apps/purchase/urls.py
app_name = 'purchase' # important
urlpatterns = [
    path('', purchase_list, name='purchase-list'),
    path('suppliers/<int:id>/calculate/', supplier_views.calculate_due, name='supplier-calculate-due'),
]

Url of supplier-calculate-due:

from django.urls import reverse
reverse('purchase:supplier-calculate-due', args=[id])

Redirect to a custom view

# option 1: redirect to url directory (not recommand)
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
from django.shortcuts import redirect
....
    return HttpResponseRedirect('/production/') # or 
    return HttpResponseRedirect('admin:app_model_change-list')

# option 2: redirect to reversed url
    url = reverse('production')
    return redirect(url)

Redirect to an admin view

return HttpResponseRedirect('admin:app_model_change', args=[id])

would be rejected for not secure issue.

So use below to workarround:

    url = reverse('admin:purchase_supplier_change', args=[id])
  return redirect(url + '?add=True')
