It's like you read my mind... I very consciously designed this in such a way that it would be possible to do this. More to the point: I think it would be possible to use web-routes-quasi to create a RESTful API and then auto-generate the basic API documentation. I'd like to eventually figure out a way to support GET and POST parameters as well for this.

Good to know that we're having similar goals in mind. :)

Anyway, for the basic [String] methods, I can add support for it in the future; I'd rather wait until we have the rest of web-routes settled down first.

Right that make sense.

(Of course, a patch is always welcome.)

I hope I can contribute something at some point. I'll need to brush up my template-haskell skills first however... Peter

Again, nice work! :) The web-routes-quasi package makes writing routes quite enjoyable. One thing that I was wondering about is, is it possible to get the list of supported methods (as [String]) for a given url?

... and now that's done :-). You can use whatever methods you want now, and it also solves the annoying issue when importing both Web.Routes.Quasi and Network.Wai. Michael

Because I want to eventually get rid of the Method datatype entirely and allow arbitrary methods ;). Michael

Nice work!

Is there a specific reason for excluding HEAD and OPTIONS?

web-routes-quasi is now at the point where it can be used for sites, and I'd love to hear some feedback. I've put together a little sample that demonstrates how you can use quasi-quoting and define your routes, embed subsites and serve the resulting application via WAI. (My example uses WAI, but the package itself is not tied to WAI.) The code is on github[1]; the main function for the blog is in blog.hs (with the lowercase b). I believe this just depends on Jeremy's web-routes package, wai and wai-extra. Note that I did not use web-routes-wai; I think there are some problems in there for breaking up the pathinfo, and I didn't have time to dig through it. Also, this package currently ignores entirely the defaultPage component of Site, though if there is desire support can be added for it. One minor bug is that you can't have an alternate GET, POST, PUT or DELETE constructor imported; hopefully that will get cleaned up. Any comments and suggestions are welcome! My goal is to port Yesod over to this as soon as the web-routes set of packages are released, so if you're interested in Yesod, you should be interested in this too ;).
