general principle

The request mapping rule of nwf also adhere to the principle of convention over configuration like .NET.

specific rules

path	function	example path	example function
/	www/controller/RootController.index(ctx);	-	-
/xxx	www/controller/RootController.xxx(ctx);	/about	www/controller/RootController.about(ctx);
/xxx/	www/controller/XxxController.index(ctx);	/demo/	www/controller/DemoController.index(ctx);
/xxx/aaa	www/controller/XxxController.aaa(ctx);	/demo/sayHello	www/controller/DemoController.sayHello(ctx);
/aaa/bbb/ccc	www/controller/aaa/BbbController.ccc(ctx);	/sys/config/update	www/controller/sys/ConfigController.update(ctx);

you can nested any layers of directory, framework will use the last two section of path to search function.

explicit register request mappings

API：

-- register request mapping
-- @param requestPath: request path
-- @param controllerFunc: function of controller
-- @param validatorFunc: function of validator
nwf.registerRequestMapping(requestPath, controllerFunc, validatorFunc);

-- register controller
-- @param requestPath: request path
-- @param controllerFunc: function of controller
nwf.registerController(requestPath, controllerFunc);

-- register validator
-- @param requestPath: request path
-- @param validatorFunc: function of validator
nwf.registerValidator(requestPath, validatorFunc)

e.g.

nwf.registerRequestMapping("/aaa/bbb/ccc/ddd", function(ctx)
    return "test", {message = "Hello, Elvin!"};
end, function(params) 
    -- do validation here
    -- return validation result here;
end);


nwf.registerController("/test/a-b/c-d", function()
  return {message="hello elvin!"};
end);

nwf.registerValidator("/test/a-b/c-d", function()
  return true;
end);

explicit register request mappings in controller or validator file

By default nwf will load validator and controller file until first request comming. So, it is impossible to explicit register validator or controller in your validator or controller file by default.
If you want to explicit register validator or controller in your validatoror controller file, you need to install module "preload_controller_mod".

$ ./nwf_module_manage.sh -i preload_controller_mod

This module will search all controller and validator and preload it at website startup.
