Generate route url with route pattern intact
Mattias
If I define a route like "config.add_route('user, '/user/{id}/
{action}')" is there anyway to generate the url 'http://server.com/
user/{id}/{action}'? Right now I do "request.route_url('user',
id='{id}', action='{action}')" which works but means I have to
remember the exact pattern parameters.
The reason I am asking is that we want our api for our webapp to use
the REST url style so we have to try to avoid sticking the id in the
query, which means that we won't be able to use the regular jquery
ajax call like
"$.post('http://server.com/user',
{'id': 1, 'action': 'send-email'},
function(response){alert(response)}
)"
Instead we will use https://github.com/lyconic/jquery.rest
"$.read('http://server.com/user/{id}/{action}',
{'id': 1, 'action': 'send-email'},
function(response){alert(response)}
)"
But due to this we have to get the urls in their "raw" form.

i pass all route names and patterns to my javascript code with a mako
template looking like this:
<script>
% for route in request.registry.getUtility(IRoutesMapper).get_routes():
APP.config.routes["${route.name}"] = "${route.path}";
% endfor
</script>
so that i can create URLs in javascript with a function like
APP.route = function (name, args) {
var path = APP.config.routes[name];
for (key in args) {
if (args.hasOwnProperty(key) && args[key] !== undefined) {
path = path.replace('{' + key + '}', args[key]);
}
}
return path;
};
The above only works if the match pattern does only contain names in
curly braces, but could be extended to massage more complex patterns
into this simple form ({id:\d+} -> {id}, ...).

Is "request.registry.getUtility(IRoutesMapper).get_routes()" an
official Pyramid api or is it just a implementation detail that may
change without prior notice?

good question. maybe introspection [1] would work, too?

api reorganisation before it hits beta? As long as the api is stable
we might as well use 1.3 in development.

No plans to change the API. The first beta is due soon, FWIW.
