Routing

Routes map URLs to pages and functions. They're stateless: use them for anything that needs a stable URL.

@Override
public Routes routes() {
	return super.routes()
			.map( "/", FrontPage.class )
			.map( "/hello", () -> NGResponses.ok( "Hello!" ) )
			.map( "/products/*", this::productPage );
}

private NGActionResults productPage( NGRequest request ) {
	final String id = request.uri().substring( "/products/".length() );
	...
}

Targets

Matching

• Exact, or a prefix when the path ends with *.
• No named parameters (/products/:id) yet (#17), and no matching on the HTTP method.
• Your routes win over the framework's, so mapping / replaces the welcome page.
• If nothing matches, a file in src/main/resources/public with that path is served, otherwise a 404.
• In development, routes are re-read on every request.
