NoReverseMatch at /

[brittanysides]

The error you're encountering is related to the URL pattern and how you're passing the arguments in your template. It seems that the issue lies in the values you're passing for the check_in_date and check_out_date variables.

In your view, you're retrieving the values from the POST request using request.POST.get('check_in_date') and request.POST.get('check_out_date'). However, if these values are empty or not provided, you might end up with an empty string for both check_in_date and check_out_date. The error message suggests that you're passing empty strings as arguments to the search_results URL, which doesn't match the defined URL pattern.

To fix this issue, you can add some validation to ensure that the check_in_date and check_out_date values are not empty before redirecting. Here's an updated version of your view:

from django.http import HttpResponseBadRequest

def index(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        check_in_date = request.POST.get('check_in_date')
        check_out_date = request.POST.get('check_out_date')
        
        # Perform validation
        if not check_in_date or not check_out_date:
            return HttpResponseBadRequest("Invalid date input.")
        
        search_results_url = reverse('search_results', args=[check_in_date, check_out_date])
        return redirect(search_results_url)
 
    return render(request, 'myapp/index.html')

This updated code checks if check_in_date and check_out_date are empty or not provided. If either of them is empty, it returns a 400 Bad Request response. This will prevent the empty string values from being passed to the URL.

Additionally, you should also consider adding error handling in your template to display an appropriate message to the user if the dates are not provided or are invalid.

By implementing these changes, you should be able to resolve the "NoReverseMatch" error and redirect to the search_results page with the appropriate date values.
