Would love to have a way of obtaining URLs from controllers about compojure HOT 4 CLOSED

Sorry for the delay in responding to this.

It's not possible to do this at the moment. The routes are too open-ended - you'd need more a more restrictive routing table for the route to be derived from the controller.

This is a useful feature to have, but I think it would require some additional control structure on top of the existing routing system. I'm not certain quite yet what this would look like.

I believe this issue shouldn't have been closed. It's such a useful thing to have that it deserves a bit of attention. Not only it eases testing but also greatly reduces the hard-coded --and prone to change specially during the early stages of product's life time-- text links.

The closing of this issue needs some explanation. Routes in Compojure are too open-ended to reverse. Any attempt to add this feature to Compojure directly would be a half-measure, because routes can potentially be Turning-complete, and therefore no reverse-url function would work on all routes.

The best way to resolve this is to construct a new routing system that can be reversed, which in turn means creating one that's significantly more restrictive than Compojure's. Naturally this would be a separate project, but one that could be built on top of Compojure.

I have been working on this project built on top of compojure with a routing system that supports this feature.
