Route groups

[vadimi]

Hi,

Is there a way to define route groups similar to Martini?

m.Group("/books", func(r martini.Router) {
    r.Get("/:id", GetBooks)
    r.Post("/new", NewBook)
    r.Put("/update/:id", UpdateBook)
    r.Delete("/delete/:id", DeleteBook)
})

By the way, goji looks really great!

Yep -

books := web.New()
goji.Handle("/books/*", books)

books.Get("/books/:id", GetBooks)
books.Post("/books/new", NewBook)
...
books.Use(SomeMiddleware)
...
goji.Get("/", ShowIndex)
goji.Serve()

Excuse the formatting (not near a computer).

Make sure you specify the full route in your sub-routes i.e. "/books/:id"
and not just "/:id" as per above.

A sub-router in this context has no default middleware applied so you will
need to call books.Use to add request logging, etc.

hope that helps.

Thanks, that's almost what I was looking for. It also would be nice not to specify "/books/" in every route.

@elithrar The middleware from the main router are still applied, so you'll still get request logging, etc. You'll even keep the same environment across the two Muxes!

@vadimi As always, the standard library saves the day: http://golang.org/pkg/net/http/#StripPrefix :)

(The behavior of the trailing "*" in string routes is always something that's struck me as a bit suspect. For instance, it might be nice to bind the "tail" to a variable, for instance. Unfortunately I haven't gotten around to figuring out what I want to do here, but I'd appreciate any thoughts you have as you use it!)

@zenazn StripPrefix worked perfectly fine. Thanks a lot.
