Can a Module provide custom routes ?

[Gervais Blaise]

Hello there,

We have a multi-module project that we would like to extend with modules. The idea is to add some modules to the classpath and activate them via `play.modules.enabled` I made some successful tests.

But I would like to allow those modules to extends the router and, sadly, I cannot find anything about that. I saw in this discussion[1] that the sird router should be the best option however I don't see how to dynamically add routes to the default router (routes.conf) ?

So, can a Module provide custom routes configure at runtime, during the binding ?

Hi. Yes, it can. Look at the CRUD module's source code for an example.

Hello Juan, 

Thanks for your response. In the meantime, I was able to build something (https://discuss.lightbend.com/t/can-a-module-provide-custom-routes/4538/2).

But I would be interested to see how it is done in the "CRUD module". Do you have a link ?

Thanks

Hello Gervais.

I meant the CRUD module from the Play! Framework 1.x series (because of
the [deprecated] tag in the thread). It is included in the distribution
packages, you can donwload the latest from [1]. Once you extract it, look
into modules/crud/conf/routes. See the Play! documentation [2] for an
explanation of how to include those routes in your application. The Secure
module provides its own routes too by the way.

Juan Carlos
