hi, i am trying to spread my routes over multiple files but i swagger is not recognizing some of my routes , here is an example http://paste.ubuntu.com/12198637/

the first version uses a var to store the route def

and then the route doesnt show in swagger panel

@juhoteperi: is there a specific way to do this?

shaym: defroutes*

Readme only mentions it in relation to legacy routes but it should be used also when you are defining routes in several places

https://github.com/metosin/compojure-api/blob/master/examples/src/examples/pizza.clj#L53

deraen: cool trying it now

deraen: great it works , thanks !

deraen: how does using the defroutes macro differ from simply including the var?

@shaym: Defroutes walks through the code to collect route data and associates that to var metadata

@juhoteperi: and defapi doesnt do it when there is an indirection via a var ?

Or rather, it stores the source code of route to var metadata so that when defapi encounters a var it can read the original source code and use that for the route collection

With normal def the route is evaluated so defapi would be unable to parse the original source code

deraen: good to know , I still have a lot to learn about macros

deraen: thanks again!

I’m not sure if Compojure-api is the best place to look for macro examples. I’m thinking, it does lots of things better avoided if possible 😄
