defining routes as a structure

[shawn wilson]

this is what i have is: https://gist.github.com/3681689

i see under the fourth example here http://flatironjs.org/#routing that i can define my routes as a structure. however my code crashes when i try 'curl http://127.0.0.1:3000/test' here:

/node/fr/node_modules/flatiron/lib/flatiron/plugins/http.js:77

        if (!app.router.dispatch(req, res, app.http.onError || union.errorHand

                        ^

TypeError: Object #<Object> has no method 'dispatch'

    at Array.exports.attach.app.createServer.app.server.union.createServer.before [as 1]

app.router is a Director.router instance. You can't override it like that. Maybe you can try setting app.router.routes, but I don't think that would work either.

There should be an API method for adding routes as JSON. Should be in the README as "mount"

mount(routes, path)

• routes {object}: Partial routing table to insert into this instance.
• path {string|Regexp}: Path within the Routing Table to insert the routes into.

Inserts the partial Routing Table, routes, into the Routing Table for this Router instance at the specified path.

You can also follow the example you posted which uses the following syntax:

var router = new director.http.Router(routes);

yes, i just found this:

https://github.com/flatiron/flatiron/issues/19

it still doesn't "work" - i curl and it just sits there, but it isn't crashing ... so, do i still need {"get": function() { ..... res.end(); } } ?

i'm going back to the docs for now...

The issue is probably with this:

var routes = {
    '/test': {
        get: { "hello": "world" }
    }

}


module.exports = routes;

Not sure what that routing table is suppose to do. The format looks invalid.
