Multi Page Apps Using New API

[unnamedunknownusername]

I love the new simplistic API. however I was wondering about multi-page apps in the new API/GenieBuilderVer0.2.

say I have just created a new app with GenieBuilderVer0.2

so I have app.jl

module App

using GenieFramework
@genietools

@handlers begin
  @out message = "Hello There"

  @onchange isready begin
    @show "App is loaded"
  end
end

@page("/", "app.jl.html")

end

and I have app.jl.html

<h1>{{message}}</h1>
<p>This is the only default view for the application.</p>
<p>You can change this view by editing the file <code>app.jl.html</code>.</p>

and I add a page1.jl file that looks like this

module   Page1

using GenieFramework
@genietools

@handlers begin
  @out message = "Hello Page1"

  @onchange isready begin
    @show "Page1 is loaded"
  end
end

@page("/page1", "page1.jl.html")

end

and I add a page1.jl.html which looks like this

<h1>{{message}}</h1>
<p>This is the only default view for the application.</p>
<p>You can change this view by editing the file <code>page1.jl.html</code>.</p>

so now in MyApp folder I will have

• app.jl
• app.jl.html
• page1.jl
• page1.jl.html

I was thinking that the @page("/page1", "page1.jl.html") line would add the new page and route to the Pages[] list and thus be accessible when I go to its associated URL.
but when I try and reload/restart the app and go to the /page1 URL it doesn't seem to work.

and the new URL does not show up in the side bar where I see the / URL

So how would I go about creating a multi-page app using the new minimal API.

Sorry if it is a beginner question, just wanted to see if something like this was possible.

It's a good question. The obvious issue is that the application does not know about your page1.jl file. The app automatically loads the app.jl file as the entry point -- but beyond this point, you need to load any other file yourself. So add `include("page1.jl") inside app.jl.

Thanks for the prompt reply, and thanks so much for all the hard work on the Genie ecosystem. That makes a lot of sense, can't believe I missed it.

Let me know if that works.

Sorry for the delay, I forgot to post this after getting it to work

yes "including" the files works and both the URL's show up in the side bar where I see now see the / URL as well as the /page1 URL

thanks for posting the solution. If the project is OSS. Please post the link to git repo as well. I am thinking maintaining a repository of GB projects on GIt and then we can showcase them on website 👍🏻
