controllers for template and json

[2316134491]

Hi,

We are building a server to serve ordinary web pages by ok->ErlyDTL, also as backend api server to provide json data.

The data to serve is the same, if we write 2 controllers, one with {ok, Values} for web page and one with {json, Values}, most code of the controllers will be duplicated.

Is there better way to do it?

Thanks.

I think you used different URLs to serve html and json. But the common solution is to use the header "Accept" in an HTTP request and build an output based on it value, not an URL. With this approach you can use one controller to produce a data with different mime-types.

Indeed, we planed to return ok or json based on subdomain like www.domain.com or api.domain.com with one controller. Appreciate your remind.

Hi,

I will consider the processing inside the html or api function.

Usually API version will have less logic, only return the key val of json format, while with html output you will consider the context to be passed to your template.

Less work if use 1 fun for returning 2 type of output, html or json, but if your api access is bigger latter, you will have also process the html outputing part.

If you duplicate it, for API and one for the html output, more works, but you have a separation of task. less confusion on the developer and less logic to process for each specific output.

Thank you.

Will start from simple, if it grows bigger, copy a new set of controllers and modify is easy.
