Convention Based Routing vs Custom Routing
Developers should use Convention Based Routing when building applications with predictable URL structures, as it speeds up development by eliminating manual route definitions and reduces configuration errors meets developers should learn custom routing when building applications with complex navigation needs, such as single-page applications (spas) that require client-side routing without full page reloads, or when integrating with legacy systems that don't support standard routing protocols. Here's our take.
Convention Based Routing
Developers should use Convention Based Routing when building applications with predictable URL structures, as it speeds up development by eliminating manual route definitions and reduces configuration errors
Convention Based Routing
Nice PickDevelopers should use Convention Based Routing when building applications with predictable URL structures, as it speeds up development by eliminating manual route definitions and reduces configuration errors
Pros
- +It is particularly useful in rapid prototyping, CRUD-heavy applications, and frameworks like ASP
- +Related to: asp-net-mvc, ruby-on-rails
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Custom Routing
Developers should learn custom routing when building applications with complex navigation needs, such as single-page applications (SPAs) that require client-side routing without full page reloads, or when integrating with legacy systems that don't support standard routing protocols
Pros
- +It's essential for scenarios where performance optimization, security controls, or specialized business logic dictate how requests are processed, such as in API gateways, custom middleware, or dynamic content delivery systems
- +Related to: react-router, vue-router
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Convention Based Routing if: You want it is particularly useful in rapid prototyping, crud-heavy applications, and frameworks like asp and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Custom Routing if: You prioritize it's essential for scenarios where performance optimization, security controls, or specialized business logic dictate how requests are processed, such as in api gateways, custom middleware, or dynamic content delivery systems over what Convention Based Routing offers.
