writing_plugins:writing-plugins-building-urls	writing_plugins	writing-plugins-building-urls	Building URLs within plugins	Plugins that define their own custom user interface elements may need to link to other pages within Datasette. This can be a bit tricky if the Datasette instance is using the base_url configuration setting to run behind a proxy, since that can cause Datasette's URLs to include an additional prefix. The datasette.urls object provides internal methods for correctly generating URLs to different pages within Datasette, taking any base_url configuration into account. This object is exposed in templates as the urls variable, which can be used like this: Back to the <a href="{{ urls.instance() }}">Homepage</a> See datasette.urls for full details on this object.
