Adding A New App Route

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/
• Use that directory as the template for the new subapp
• Recreate that folder structure under /src/Apps/<NewApp>
• Replace all instances of replace and Replace with 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
