Re: [Erlyaws-list] Abstract URLs

[Filippo P. (S.G. Consulting) <pa...@sg...>]

I've done it using appmods like this.

%% root directory
resource_matcher([]) ->
    fun root_resource/1;
%% root directory
resource_matcher(Url) when Url =3D=3D "/" ->
    fun root_resource/1;
%% matches "/desiredurl"
resource_matcher(Url) when Url =3D=3D "/desiredurl" ->
    fun desired_resource/1;
%% matches urls like "/url/123"
%% print some debug ionfo if match fails
resource_matcher(Url) ->
    {Base, Id} =3D lists:split(length("/url/"), Url),
    case Base of
        "/url/" ->
            url_resource(list_to_integer(Id));
        _ ->
            fun debug_data/1
        end.

out(A) ->
    Resource =3D resource_matcher(A#arg.appmoddata),
    Resource(A).
