tornado-route-simple

Tech Notes (or "What the *@# is really happening here?")

Everytime @route('...') is called, we instantiate a new route object which saves off the passed in URI. Then, since it's a decorator, the function is passed to the route.call method as an argument. We save a reference to that handler with our uri in our class level routes list then return that class to be instantiated as normal.

Later, we can call the classmethod route.get_routes to return that list of tuples which can be handed directly to the tornado.web.Application instantiation.

Installation

Install the extension with one of the following commands:

pip install tornado-route-simple

or download the source code from here and run command:

python setup.py build
python setup.py install

Sample usage

In your app.py

import tornado.ioloop
import tornado.web

from simpleroute import make_routes


app_settings = dict(
    debug=True,
)


apihandlers = make_routes(['handlers'])
application = tornado.web.Application(apihandlers, **app_settings)
application.listen(8888)
tornado.ioloop.IOLoop.instance().start()

In your handlers package

from simpleroute import route
import tornado.web

@route(r"^/index/simple$")
class SimpleHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):
    def get(self):
        self.write('Hello!')
