Creating Routes

Lets start by creating the same basic app as before.

from magicweb import Magicweb, run

app = Magicweb(__file__)

Now we can create a route.

A route is composed of a decorator and a function. The decorator is used to define the route's path and the function is used to define the route's behavior.

...
@app.route("/")
def index(request, response):
    response.text = "Hello World!"

What this does is it defines the route's path as / and when the route is called, it will call the function index. The function will receive the request and response objects as arguments and it will return "Hello World" in the reponse.

Routes with parameters

Magicweb supports routes with parameters. The syntax is the same as before, but now the path is defined as /hello/{name}. And the function will receive the name parameter as an argument.

...
@app.route("/hello/{name}")
def hello(request, response, name):
    response.text = f"Hello {name}"
