So, the way to handle these types of links (with the example before):
welcome/default/products/(\d{2}) # shows overall product page for given
product primary id
welcome/default/products/(\d{2})/description # shows product description
for given product primary id
welcome/default/products/(\d{2})/comments # shows product comments for
given product primary id
welcome/default/products/(\d{2})/comments/(\d{2}) # shows specific
comment for a specific product given comment id and product id
Would be to manually check request.args to determine what action to take? I
imagine it would be kind of messy like this:
def products():
request_length = len(request.args)
if request_length == 1:
# return all info on requested product
elif request_length == 2:
if request.args[1] == 'description':
# return description of requested product
elif request.args[1] == 'comments':
# return comments of requested product
elif request_length == 3:
if request.args[1] == 'comments':
# return single comment given its id
else:
# redirect to error
I feel like I'm missing something because this seems a bit
counter-intuitive and highly messy, especially as the number of urls may
grow in a large site?
