Sugar v0.4.1 → Overview → Sugar → Router

Sugar.Router

Sugar.Router defines an alternate format for Plug.Router routing. Supports all HTTP methods that Plug.Router supports.

Routes are defined with the form:

method route [guard], controller, action

method is get, post, put, patch, or delete, each responsible for a single HTTP method. method can also be any, which will match on all HTTP methods. options is yet another option for method, but when using options, only a route path and the methods that route path supports are needed. controller is any valid Elixir module name, and action is any valid public function defined in the controller module.

get/3, post/3, put/3, patch/3, delete/3, options/2, and any/3 are already built-in as described. resource/2 exists but will need modifications to create everything as noted.

raw/4 allows for using custom HTTP methods, allowing your application to be HTTP spec compliant.

Example

defmodule Router do
  use Sugar.Router
  alias Controllers, as: C

  # Define your routes here
  get  "/",                     C.Pages, :index
  get  "/pages",                C.Pages, :create
  post "/pages",                C.Pages, :create
  put  "/pages/:page_id" when id == 1,
                                C.Pages, :update_only_one
  get  "/pages/:page_id",       C.Pages, :show

  # Auto-create a full set of routes for resources
  #
  resource :users,              C.User, arg: :user_id
  #
  # Generates:
  #
  # get     "/users",           C.User, :index
  # post    "/users",           C.User, :create
  # get     "/users/:user_id",  C.User, :show
  # put     "/users/:user_id",  C.User, :update
  # patch   "/users/:user_id",  C.User, :patch
  # delete  "/users/:user_id",  C.User, :delete
  #
  # options "/users",           "HEAD,GET,POST"
  # options "/users/:_user_id", "HEAD,GET,PUT,PATCH,DELETE"

  raw :trace, "/trace",         C.Tracer, :trace
end
