Routing in Zenith

Routing is an essential part of web applications, and Zenith provides a powerful routing system to handle different URLs and route them to the appropriate components or handlers.

Configuring Routes

To configure routes in Zenith, follow these steps:

  1. Create a new instance of the Zenith Builder class:

    """ builder = Zenith.Builder() """

  2. Define your routes using the add_route method of the builder instance:

    """ builder.add_route("/", homeComponent) builder.add_route("/about", aboutComponent) """

    In this example, the root URL ("/") is mapped to the homeComponent, and the "/about" URL is mapped to the aboutComponent.

  3. Build the routes using the Build method:

    """ builtRoutes = builder.Build() """

    The Build method returns a dictionary that maps route URLs to their corresponding components.

  4. Register the built routes with your Zenith application:

    """ app = Zenith.WApp()

    for route, component in builtRoutes.items(): app.register_route(route, component) """

    This step ensures that the defined routes are registered with your Zenith application.

Dynamic Routing

Zenith supports dynamic routing, allowing you to define routes with parameters that can be accessed within your components or handlers. To define a dynamic route, use curly braces {} to wrap the parameter name in the route URL.

For example:

builder.add_route("/user/{id}", userComponent)

In this example, the route "/user/{id}" defines a dynamic parameter named "id". This parameter can be accessed within the userComponent to retrieve the specific user ID.

Route Parameters

To access route parameters within your component or handler, use the get_param method of the Zenith application instance:

@app.route("/user/{id}")
def user_handler(request):
userId = request.get_param("id")
# Use the userId to retrieve user information or perform other logic
...
