Conditional redirect on django?

I have a wishlist system. By this, user can add items to wishlist by clicking on heart icon, the problem is that i have two places where user can remove the items from wishlist:

1. User can remove items on the wishlis from the search results
2. User can remove items on the wishlis from "Wishlist" menu

So by this, how to redirect based on page for example,

1, When user reclicks heart icon on search results it do action and redirect to same search result page

2, And when user reclicks heart icon on wishlist menu it should redirect back to wishlist again

Here is the code

def save_wish(request, pk):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        student = request.user.student
        .........
        .........
        return redirect('students:search')

So the above code always returns to "search" irrespective the page user clicked, how to conditional redirect to "Search" when user clicks from search and to "wishlist" when user clicks from "wishlist" page?

One way to do this is using hidden field in your form. When removing an item on the wishlist from the search result, you can use a hidden field inside the form-

<input type="hidden" id="hidField" name="hidField" value="searchPage">

Then in views-

def save_wish(request):
    if request.method=="POST":
        hidden_value=request.POST["hidField"]
        ---------------------------------
        if hidden_value=="searchPage":
            return redirect("students:search")
        else:
            return redirect("wishlist-page")

  1. You could use:

    request.path # -without GET parameters request.get_full_path

I.e. :

   def save_wish(request, pk):
        if request.method == 'POST':
            student = request.user.student
            .........
            .........
            if request.path == '/search':
              return redirect('students:search')

            elif:
               return redirect('/whishilit-url')

  1. More elegant approach would be:

    request.resolver_match.view_name

I.e.:

def save_wish(request, pk):
    route = request.resolver_match.view_name
    if request.method == 'POST':
        student = request.user.student
        .........
        .........
    return redirect(route)

Two ways I can think of solving this:

  1. Using request.META.HTTP_REFERER
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect

def someview(request):
   ...
   return HttpResponseRedirect(request.META.get('HTTP_REFERER'))

  1. Using path_info
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect

def someview(request):
   ...
   return HttpResponseRedirect(request.path_info)
