Extending path name in urls.py

Supposed my views.py contain multiple views that are meant to go deeper in the url path.

urlpatterns = [
    path('<int:table_pk>/order/', views.menu_category_view, name='menu_category_view'),
    path('<str:menu_category>/', views.menu_item_view, name='menu_item_view'),
]

The first view has the path generated as <int:table_pk>/order/. If I want the second view to have a path as following <int:table_pk>/order/<str:menu_category>/, how should i go about passing the variables (in the view and/or template) in DRY manner? What if I have more path levels that need to extend the path above it in this same manner?

You can work with an include(…) clause [Django-doc]:

from django.urls import include

urlpatterns = [
    path('<int:table_pk>/order/', include([
        path('', views.menu_category_view, name='menu_category_view'),
        path('<str:menu_category>/', views.menu_item_view, name='menu_item_view'),
    ]))
]

The path(…) before the include(…) is thus common for both path(…)s in the list wrapped in the include(…).

You can thus construct a hierarchy by using includes where a path(…) can be wrapped in an include(…) of another path(…), etc.
