Django-debug-toolbar: Filtering by requested URL

I stepped into the same issue and agree with gw0 on suggesting an implementation of common filtering patterns to quickly remove the toolbar from matching urls. Just an hint.

Either way, really good job the all-mighty debug-toolbar. You guys rock!

Now that #324 is fixed, this has become really simple to implement. Here's how you would exclude the admin:

from debug_toolbar.middleware import show_toolbar

def custom_show_toolbar(request):
    return show_toolbar(request) and not request.path.startswith('/admin/')

Here's how you would exclude a series of URL prefixes:

from debug_toolbar.middleware import show_toolbar

excluded_urls = ['/foo', '/bar']

def custom_show_toolbar(request):
    excluded = any(request.path.startswith(url) for url in excluded_urls)
    return show_toolbar(request) and not excluded

I don't think it would be easier to use a DSL for filtering URLs. Plain Python is a suitable tool for this class of problems.

Thanks for the suggestion anyway!

For anyone else landing here, it seems that the from debug_toolbar.middleware import show_toolbar line triggers an early evaluation of Django Debug Toolbars' settings, meaning that any subsequent changes to settings won't be read. I needed to do the import inside the function in order to have my settings take effect.

def custom_show_toolbar(request):
    from debug_toolbar.middleware import show_toolbar

    return show_toolbar(request) and not request.path.startswith("/graphql")

DEBUG_TOOLBAR_CONFIG = {"SHOW_TOOLBAR_CALLBACK": custom_show_toolbar}
