Dynamic routes

[jamesli2021]

I have some ideas on writing sub-module that will need to add new routes to echo e.g. like plug-ins.

Is it idea to declare echo route as global variable?

Currently Echo router is not designed to be modified after server has started - you will have a datarace when new route is added at the same time as requests are served.

and global variables are somewhat bad practice - you are making assumption that you have only single instance. There are plenty of cases when you would want multiple instances of similar things. For example spawn multiple Servers in same application runtime and different ports etc.

Oh, to clarify, the routes are added during application launch. Alternatively, would adding my API/function to check for existing keys or enforce paths to adopt .../v1/ naming from different package work? Are there any alternative solution to deal with global variables as my code is similar to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58186129/how-to-import-sub-routes-from-other-packages

Having used to the way of Nginx's reverse proxy approach for each application runtime, I'm quite curious which scenario we will need multiple servers in same application runtime and different ports?
