Command for routing like e.g. "@route"

[heerens]

Hi!

I am using JTE in combination with HTMX. That means my controllers are very coupled to by templates for the GET and POST request.
Currently I just use hardcoded string as hx-get values e.g.

<button hx-put ="/cart/add/1234">Add</button>

Sure I could create a static function to create the URL. But it would be very nice to have that build in like this:

<button hx-put ="@routes.CartController.addItem(1234)">Add</button>

It would need to find all *Mapping() Annotations, @PathVariable or @RequestParam etc and create functions for that.

Is this on the road map?

No, this is not on the road map, since jte is a template engine and knows nothing about the web framework it is used with.

However, even if we would implement this for e.g. Spring Boot, I think there is no need for a new keyword.

If you generate those functions from the annotations (or write them by hand), you can simply call the Java code from the template.
<button hx-put ="${CartController.addItem(1234)}">Add</button>
