The following example is from Play's documentation
To use the routing DSL in conjunction with a regular Play project that uses a routes file and controllers, extend the SimpleRouter:
package api
import javax.inject.Inject
import play.api.mvc._
import play.api.routing.Router.Routes
import play.api.routing.SimpleRouter
import play.api.routing.sird._
class ApiRouter @Inject()(controller: ApiController)
extends SimpleRouter
{
override def routes: Routes = {
case GET(p"/") => controller.index
}
}
Add the following line to conf/routes:
-> /api api.ApiRouter
Question - In the above example As /api
already maps to ApiRouter
, does GET(p"/")
resolve to somedomain.com/api/
or somedomain.com/
It will resolve to somedomain.com/api/
, that is the main idea of the SIRD - it allows you to modularize routers.
