6448 :: jester: one handler for several routes?

• luntik2012 (orginal) [2020-06-18T16:25:31+02:00] view original

  I'd like to write something like C's switch/case. Is it possible without writing a custom router?

  routes:
    get "/hello":
    get "/helloWorld":
      resp "Hello World"
  
  Run

  I can write separate handler proc and return http code, headers and content, but may be there is a more beautiful solution?

  You can use templates like this: https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=2pC5

  import tables
  
  
  var routeMap: Table[string, proc()]
  
  template routes(body: untyped) =
    # init server pre routs
    body
  
  template get(url: string, body: untyped) =
    routeMap[url] = proc() =
      body
  
  proc resp(data: string) =
    discard
  
  
  
  
  routes:
    get "/hello":
      resp "Hello"
    get "/helloWorld":
      resp "Hello World"
  
  
  
  
  
  for k, v in routeMap:
    echo k
  Run

  While not as flexible as @treeform 's solution, but if the naming allows for it, you could do a patterned naming. Either as a regex (see https://github.com/dom96/jester#regex) or simple pattern. For example:

  import jester
  
  routes:
    get "/hello@suffix":
      resp "Hello World"
  Run

  I also have an experimental fork for plugins also supports subrouters grouped by url prefix, but that is very iffy right now.
