Routing 🔗

Routes wraps a partial function from (HttpMethod, Path) to Response[?]. A route can access the current request through Request.current.

Form	Match
GET -> Path()	GET on /
GET -> Path("cars")	GET on /cars
GET -> Path("cars", id)	GET on /cars/{id}; id is a string
GET -> Path("cars", param[Int](id))	GET on /cars/{id} when id parses as an integer
(GET | POST) -> Path("cars")	GET or POST on /cars
GET -> Path("files", segments*)	GET on /files and remaining path segments

Methods are GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS, PATCH, and HEAD. Path is a sequence of string segments. A route that does not match falls through to the next case. Routes.merge(Seq(first, second)) checks routes in that order.

The routes how-to covers enum, regex, and custom path parameters.
