Defcontroller

[venantius]

A defcontroller macro has been on my mind for some time now.

What would a defcontroller macro do?

In my mind, it requires the following:

• Parameter validation (for query, path, and body params), type casting, output validation[1]
• Bi-directional routing
• Authorization?

[1] I find myself heavily inspired by https://github.com/metosin/compojure-api, but (a) I definitely don't need the swagger documentation, and (b) I don't think routing is the appropriate place for parameter validation.

Now have parameter validation in place. Haven't really done anything with type casting, which I think is more important for basically any non-JSON validation (i.e. everything that isn't a :body param).

No output validation so far.

Also some interesting questions here around bidirectional routing. This is really the first time it's seemed valuable to me.
