routegen

Generate Compojure routes for functions in a namespace. Routegen makes exposing webservices simpler.

Usage

Add [routegen "0.1.3"] to your project.clj :dependencies

(def app-routes
  (apply routes
         (concat
          (page-routes 'myns.pages)
          (path-routes 'myns.services)
          (post-routes 'myns.services))))

Pass a namespace to create a page or service for each function in that namespace:

• page-routes "Returns routes for pages defined in a namespace as public functions with no arguments"
• path-routes "Returns service routes with arguments passed as parameters."
• post-routes "Returns service routes where arguments are passed in the URL path."

Why?

• All service calls have their arguments checked and return helpful error messages if the signatures do not match.
• Generate webservice documentation using standard Clojure tools because they are just functions.
• Implement a function in your services namespace, and now you can call it from JavaScript :)
• All services can be accessed as json/csv/datasource
• path-routes are for GET http://mysite/fmt/function/arg1/arg2/arg3 where fmt is one of json/csv/datasource
• post-routes are for POST http://mysite/fmt/function with arguments in the request
