Routing with dot in the route about framework HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi @eMarek,
no, but you can write route to file:

Be careful, because you lose a features of controller.

Hmmm, I will try. I just testing angular.js a little bit.
So what is the difference between self.responseFile(req, res, self.path.public(filename), filename); and self.file(name + '.html'); as you used it in the issue #22 (comment).

Why did you add .json file extension to url?

Hard to explain. :D
I am learning MVVM frameworks and angular.js is one of them. Let's say this way. I make two ajax calls from browser to server. With first one I am getting view. It is pure HTML file with some ng stuff without any data. With second one I am getting date (JSON). This two things (view and data) are combined by the angular.js in the browser. Why am I doing it like this? Because of so called two way data-binding. You can modify JSON and this will be reflected in the DOM tree and vice versa. The idea is sth like this:

exports.install = function(framework) {
    framework.route('/', index);
    framework.route('/products.html', productsHTML, ['+xhr']);
    framework.route('/products.json', productsJSON, ['+xhr']);
};

function index() {
    var self = this;
    self.view('app');
}

function productsHTML() {
    var self = this;
    //returning just view
    self.file('../views/products/index.html');
}

function productsJSON() {
    var self = this;
    //data from DB
    self.json({...});
}

The easiest fix for my problem is to replace dots in routes with dashes.

    framework.route('/products-html', productsHTML, ['+xhr']);
    framework.route('/products-json', productsJSON, ['+xhr']);

Anyway, I will satisfy myself with this ugly notation, if you do not have any better solution. :D
About the controller responding with self.file(...);... It is very usefull, tnx.

Hi, this is my tip:

HTML

• all templates you can store in public directory
• is there auto HTTP cache
• you don't need to write a controller

/public/views/products.html
/public/views/users.html

JSON

• generate in a controller
• more options

from framework.

This solution looks workable but I my case is a little bit to opened. My app will be behind authentication and I do not want to have public views. After all I think I will load views with controller. I have not decided yet.
Anyway, thank you for the help.
