Default routes
Here are some examples that illustrate the default routes I came up with:
Example Request handler function
---------------------------------------
GET / _home()
GET /foo _show()
GET /foo?baz=qux _query()
PUT /bar _save()
DELETE /bar _delete()
POST / _post()
POST /login _login()
GET /users/ users_home()
GET /users/1 users_show()
GET /users/1?baz=qux users_query()
PUT /users/2 users_save()
DELETE /users/2 users_delete()
POST /users/ users_post()
POST /users/poke users_poke()
I chose
*_save
because it captures both the CREATE and UPDATE semantics of PUT. The other option was *_write()
requiring me to use *_read
instead of *_show
for symmetry but that didn't feel right.*_query
was chosen over *_search
and *_filter
because its asking semantics is generic enough to be used in many different situation than the locating and removing semantics of the alternatives.Catchalls
If none of the above handler functions are found, mapper.lib will fall back on the catchall handler functions.
Request fall-back-1 fall-back-2
---------------------------------------------
* /users/1 users_catchall() _catchall()
* /foo _catchall()
