Re: Question about generating urls with dispatch-rules from imported modules

Meanwhile here's my attempt at doing a koyo-like url generation with a
wrapper around web-server/dispatch's url-generating function:

(define-values (app-dispatch app-url)
  (dispatch-rules  ; the standard one
   [...]))

(define (app-url/names route-name . args)
  ;; define a mapping between symbolic names and handlers
  (define route-names
    (hash 'item-list item-list-view
          'item-detail item-detail-view))
  (apply app-url (hash-ref route-names route-name) args))

And then I can store the function in a parameter that is used by the
templates.

It is of course not a general solution (for instance, the rules in
dispatch-rules and the route-names can go out of sync if one forgets to
update either of them) and they are not dynamic.

But for an ultra-minimalistic application this might do when you don't
feel like adding a new external dependency.
