Routing

Gozen is grounded on the lightweight router package Go-chi, so all routing and their available functions are taken from there.

Basic routing

Navigate to routes > routes.go

package routes

import (
	"github.com/go-chi/chi/v5"
	"gozen/controllers/welcome"
)

func LoadRoutes(r *chi.Mux) {

	r.Get("/", welcome.Index)
	r.Post("/test", welcome.Test)

} //end

Simply add the controllers you need in the import declaration, and the string to its function call

Controllers

Now just add the directory and file welcome > welcome.go

package welcome

import (
	"gozen/system/templates"
	"net/http"
)

// welcome page
func Index(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {

	// Render the template and write it to the response
	templates.Render(w, r, "welcome", nil)
}

If you wish to inject data into the view you can do so like this:-

func Test(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	data := map[string]interface{} {
           "Foo": "testing",
        }
	// Render the template and write it to the response
	templates.Render(w, r, "forms", data)
}

To access the data 'Foo' in the above example you can add this in your html

{{ .Data.Foo }}

Route parameters

Sometimes you will need to capture segments of the URI within your route. For example, you may need to capture a user's token or ID from the URL. You may do so by defining route parameters:

r.Get("/hash/{token}", login.ConfirmHash)   <-- added to routes.go

token := chi.URLParam(r, "token")    <-- added to your controller

Redirect

If you are defining a route that redirects to another URI, you may use the example below. This method provides a convenient shortcut so that you do not have to define a full route or controller for performing a simple redirect:

http.Redirect(w, r, "/profile", http.StatusFound)

Accessing post data inside your controller

password := r.FormValue("password")
email := r.FormValue("email")
