How would a forwardf work?

[TWith2Sugars]

I'm attempting to create a forwardf extension to scope so that I can pass along an id to a sub resource.

let subResource projectId = scope {
  get "/" getAllItems projectId
  getf "/%i" getItem projectId
}

let project = scope {
  get "/" allProjects
  getf "/%i" getProject
  forwardf "%i/items" subResource 
}

that snippet probably explains it best on what I'm trying do.

I'm happy to create a pr and work on this but I'm not 100% sure how to go about this.

TBF, I'm not entirely sure why it's not implemented... Probably I've hit some problems with type system (scope implementation is bit hacky). But anyway, from top of my head, it should be fairly similar to other format function implementations in Router.fs - using addRouteF helper function.

I had an attempt before by following forward which I then found used subRoute and turns out subRouteF doesn't make sense.

I'll have another try and see if I can get around it.

I'm not sure if I 100% agree with @gerardtoconnor about this :D

Im no phoenix / Saturn expert so dont mind me!

[Krzysztof-Cieslak]

Oh, that has nothing really to do with Phoenix nor Saturn... I think

[gerardtoconnor]

My statement still stands, don't mind me ;)

Anyway, I believe that I've accidentally implemented fowardf adding some stuff to controller today - https://github.com/SaturnFramework/Saturn/blob/master/src/Saturn/Controller.fs#L68

[TWith2Sugars]

well...., I think I'll still give it a shot at the scope level anyway :) .

[TWith2Sugars]

Well looks like subroutef now exists, I'll wait until it's released and base my attempt around that.

Implemented in 756a3ab

Thanks for doing this, I was getting no where with it.
