Full skill instructions

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
