# Merb::RouteMatcher is the request routing mapper for the merb framework. # You can define placeholder parts of the url with the :smbol notation. # so r.add '/foo/:bar/baz/:id', :class => 'Bar', :method => 'foo' # will match against a request to /foo/123/baz/456. It will then # use the class Bar as your merb controller and call the foo method on it. # the foo method will recieve a hash with {:bar => '123', :id => '456'} # as the content. So the :placeholders sections of your routes become # a hash of arguments to your controller methods. # The default route is installed puts "Compiling routes.." Merb::Router.prepare do |r| # restfull routes # r.resources :posts # default route, usually you don't want to change this r.default_routes # change this for your home page to be avaiable at / #r.add '/', :controller => 'whatever', :action =>'index' end
