from django.urls import path

from . import views

urlpatterns = [  
path(‘bands/’, views.band\_listing, name=‘band-list’),  
path(‘bands/int:band\_id/’, views.band\_detail, name=‘band-detail’),  
path(‘bands/search/’, views.band\_search, name=‘band-search’),  
]

Here is name = ‘band-list’ any special words or arguments or any thing we can write.

It’s a good practice to set the `name` property in your url patterns, to be able to reverse URLs. Take a look at [this example](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/topics/http/urls/#examples).
