Reverse routing in buffalo

Question

Is there any possibility to use a reverse router, e.g. similiar to the Play framework? This would be helpful in order not to hardcode URLs outside the app.go.

Answer 1

In app.go use Name() to define a name for the route (as in mux). For example:

auth.GET("/{provider}", bah).Name("login")

buffalo will however append "Path" to it and make it available as

loginPath({key : value})

for example:

<a href="<%= loginPath({provider: "github"}) %>">login</a>
