How to create links to different html files?

[ajbuchholz]

I am relatively new to perl6 and I am working on a project and using Cro. I want to have a home page in which I can click different links that open other HTML files. I followed the documentation to make a static page, but I need to create a dynamic one. How do I go about doing that?

Still Learning Perl6 | Thanks

Hi. By "dynamic page" you mean a single page application or you just want to present different server-side HTML to the user depending on some conditions of a request?

If the second one, Cro handles delivery for you, but does not restrict you to its own tool set when it comes to building sites, as it is not a web framework.
For templating you can use any engine you want, see https://modules.perl6.org/search/?q=template for available options.
There is one written by Cro author, https://github.com/croservices/cro-webapp, which has Cro::HTTP::Router related examples.

If you want a single page application, you'd need to inevitably work with javascript/node side of things, which are changing rapidly, but a tutorial of how Cro backend can look like is at https://cro.services/docs/intro/spa-with-cro

Thank you. Sorry if that was confusing. I just wanted a home page with buttons that linked to other various HTML pages. I will take a look at the Cro Module (Cro::HTTP::Router) when I have a minute. I’m pretty sure it’s what I need, although I am not certain.

Thank you!
