Handling dynamic paths / routes

[kravemir]

I am planning to create support for dynamic pages, where user/admin can create page using rich text, and assign it a path (actually, it would be a tree-like structure with "infinite" depth).

So, I will need routing, which handles calls in following order:

1. static-path routes (API calls, fixed function pages,... and this is already supported by gin),
2. dynamic-path "routes", which are handled by dynamic pages functionality.

Is it possible to do so with gin?

Probably, gin ain't tool/library suitable for my needs. Feel free to close this issue, if you like.

I'm going to use more versatile and convenient httptreemux, which provides features needed for above use-case: catch-all variable at end of the rule, and "overlapping/sub-set" rules evaluated according to specific priority.

Yep, I have been having basic issues with the router used which I commented about in another issue. I cannot achieve this without conflicts (I could in another router, forgot which one):

/index.html
/js/socket.io.js
/socket.io/

using:

/*
router.Static("/", "./static")
or
router.StaticFS("/", gin.Dir("./static", false))
*/
router.GET("/socket.io/", gin.WrapH(server))
router.POST("/socket.io/", gin.WrapH(server))

where the directory structure is:

$ find static/
static/
static/js
static/js/socket.io.js
static/index.html

	r.GET("/updateroute",func(c *gin.Context){	//you don't need to use a route for updating them in runtime you can use UpdateRoutes function when you add a new route in your admin panel

}

func UpdateRoutes(allRoutes []string, r *gin.Engine) *gin.Engine{
	for route:=range allRoutes{
		r.GET(route,func(c *gin.Context){
			c.String(200,c.Request.RequestURI)
		})
	}
}
