Adds in a
url_for
method to generate URLs based on an endpoint's handler name, similar to Flask. Provides the same type of functionality as Flask, but will additionally fail URL building if a supplied parameter does not pass the request parameter pattern. From the docs I wrote:Caveats: I did not try to make this work with
static
files or theCompositionView
. The reason is I found no logical pattern for getting a view name forstatic
handlers, since there is no unique "handler" surrounding a static file. Same forCompositionView
handlers.One possible idea would be to force the naming of a class based view, like Flask does:
app.add_route(SpecialClassView.as_view('special_class_name'), '/special_class_view')
Another idea would be to make the static file API similar to routing, with unique handlers:
But these were out of scope for this request.
Fixes #336
