What for in Path to register a name of a route?

Question

Django

Good afternoon!
Django question.
What for in Path to register a name of a route: name='home'?
For example: without everything works the same way, or in what cases it is necessary to prescribe, and in which not? path(' ', views.index, name='home')
name='home'

Answer 1

In order to prescribe url by name in templates and code, and not explicitly:
return reverse('dashboard-index')instead of return '/dashboard/index/'.
The advantage is that named code is much easier to maintain and change.
