A better way to organize your routes.
Add Ziggy to the package dependencies (in your Package.swift file):
dependencies: [
...,
.package(url: "https://github.com/m1guelpf/ziggy-vapor.git", from: "1.0.0")
]as well as to your target (e.g. "App"):
targets: [
...
.target(
name: "App",
dependencies: [... "Ziggy" ...]
),
...
]Import Ziggy in your configure.swift file, then call the setup method:
// Sources/App/configure.swift
import Ziggy
// configures your application
public func configure(_ app: Application) async throws {
// ...
app.ziggy.setup()
// ...
}Then, on your routes.swift file (or wherever you define your routes), you can chain the name method to your routes to give them a name:
// Sources/App/routes.swift
import Vapor
import Ziggy
public func routes(_ app: Application) throws {
app.get { req in
return req.view.render("dashboard")
}.name("dashboard")
// ...
}You can then use the app.route (or req.route) function to generate URLs for your routes:
let url = app.route("home") // /dashboard
let edit_user = req.route("users.edit", 1) // /users/1/edit
return req.redirect(route: "user.profile", "m1guelpf") // Redirects to /@m1guelpfYou can also access the route function on your frontend, by adding the routes tag to your HTML template and installing the ziggy-js package:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/app.css" />
<script type="module" src="/app.js"></script>
#routes()
</head>
<body>
<!-- ... -->
