Routing

Routes in Wayward are essentially functions that take a HTTP request as input and return a HTTP response.

The basic way to define a route is to simply call app.get/post/put/etc. with the desired path and a function object that can respond to request matching the path.

The App class does the heavy lifting in routes, and has the following interface:

---

App

---

wayward/w.hpp

assets

Invoke: assets(uri_path, filesystem_path)

Define how and where static assets are located and accessed.

get, put, patch, post, del, head, options

Invoke: method(route, handler)

Handler is a function with the signature Response(Request&).

Route is a slash-separated path. Path elements beginning with : will be interpreted as input parameters to the request handler. Example:

app.post("/foo/:bar", handler)

This route will respond to any path starting with "/foo/", and whatever comes after that will be passed to the handler in request.params["bar"].

The method del defines a route that responds to DELETE requests, and is abbreviated to avoid collision with the C++ keyword delete.

run

Invoke: run()

Starts listening and serving requests.
