Creating routes

Setup all your routes inside the SetupRoutes func in conf/app/app.go

func SetupRoutes(app *macaron.Macaron) {
	app.Group("", func() {
		app.Get("/", handler.ListAccessPage)
	}, auth.LoginRequired)
	app.Get("/login", handler.LoginPage)
	app.Post("/login", binding.BindIgnErr(model.Login), handler.BasicAuth)
	})

}

Creating handlers for the routers

Put all handler files inside the handler folder

• Handle raw text

func Hello() string {
        return "Hello"
}

• Handle JSON

import (
        "net/http"
        "{{.AppPath}}/lib/context"
)

func User(ctx *context.Context) {
	//user is the struct you want to return
        ctx.JSON(http.StatusOk, user)
}

• Handle XML

import (
        "net/http"
        "{{.AppPath}}/lib/context"
)

func User(ctx *context.Context) {
	//user is the struct you want to return
        ctx.XML(http.StatusOk, user)
}

• Handle Jade HTML Template Engine

The extension of the templates must be .jade. Put the jade files inside public/templates folder

import (
        "net/http"
        "{{.AppPath}}/lib/context"
)

func User(ctx *context.Context) {
	//edit is the page name you want to render
        ctx.HTML(http.StatusOk, "edit")
}

• Handle Go HTML Template Engine

The extension of the templates must be .tmpl or .html. Put the Go template files inside public/templates folder

import (
        "net/http"
        "{{.AppPath}}/lib/context"

func User(ctx *context.Context) {
	//edit is the page name you want to render
        ctx.NativeHTML(http.StatusOk, "edit")
}
