The last thing we're going to do
0:01
is we're going to have the ability to login and out
0:03
and basically manage accounts.
0:05
You've noticed, I've already created that part there.
0:07
Let's go and add the routes for that
0:10
and we'll figure out what we need.
0:12
So, here we'll say account_controller
0:16
just for time sake, let me just drop those in there.
0:20
We're going to have /account, account_login
0:24
account_register and account_logout.
0:27
Go over here.
0:28
I'll implement those real quick and we'll come back to it.
0:32
OK, I've just dropped in a few of the things
0:34
that we're going to need that correspond to account
0:37
account_login, account_register, account_logout.
0:40
Over here we've got, here's just going to be /account
0:44
this is going to be you're home, and notice, in this one
0:47
I'm explicitly setting the request method.
0:50
I really only want this to respond to GET
0:52
and this one, actually, it doesn't matter so much
0:54
but down here it definitely does.
0:56
So, here's the login that's going to use the template login
1:00
which I've created over here
1:02
and this one responds only to GET.
1:04
This is going to show the form
1:06
whereas this one is going to process the login
1:08
when you submit it as an HTTP POST.
1:11
So we'll set the name, because we can't have two functions
1:15
with the same name
1:16
so we're going to have to name the route there.
1:20
With registration, same thing, register_get, register_post
1:24
and finally just to logout.
1:25
So that rounds out all the URL's
1:28
that are going to be at play here.
1:30
Let's run this, and just double check.
1:33
So, let's go over here to /account/login
1:40
All right, looks like the account stuffs working.
1:43
Trust me, I think the rest is going to be just fine as well.
1:46
That was a lot of juggling of various pieces
1:49
and I find that to be one of the things that can be tricky
1:52
routing, because we've got these view methods
1:55
that are contained within the controllers.
1:57
The controllers then link, you know
2:00
leverage these templates
2:02
and the templates are then laid out in a certain way.
2:04
Pretty straight forward.
2:05
What we've done is we've registered our core home routes
2:09
the various ones to do with packages
2:10
that we put in to the PackagesController
2:12
the one to do with accounts
2:14
put them in the AccountController
2:16
and then finally, we run scan
2:17
and it just goes through every file
2:19
looking for @view_config decorators
2:22
and then lines them up.
2:23
We saw that if they don't match
2:25
there's going to be an error.
