Adding a new route
Use this checklist to track your work:
- Determine name & route for the new app
- Determine the kind of app to create
- Create a folder for the new app
- Mount the new app in the global routes listing
- Consider next steps
Determine name & route for the new app
If the name of the new app and the desired route have not already been specified, AskUserQuestion to determine that information, e.g. MyApp at /my-app.
Determine the kind of app to create
- Static: The simplest possible app with static-only content
- Dynamic: A typical app that fetches data based on route params
Use the answer in the next step.
Create a folder for the new app
- Choose the correct template directory based on the previous step:
- Static:
./templates/static/Replace/ - Dynamic:
./templates/dynamic/Replace/
- Static:
- Use that directory as the template for the new subapp
- Recreate that folder structure under
/src/Apps/<NewApp> - Replace all instances of
replaceandReplacewith appropriate naming (case-sensitive)
Mount the new app in the global routes listing
Add the new route to the main route list at src/routes.tsx. Follow existing conventions re: alphabetization.
Consider next steps
Additional dev advice:
- You may need to restart the server for the new route to take effect
- Then visit http://localhost:4000/{replace} to see your new app
- Examine the generated code for additional follow-ups
