Extending _why’s Legacy

The leading mission for Scarpe has been to implement as much backwards compatibility as possible for _why’s original Shoes library. This remains true. _why’s taste and DSL are celebrated and preserved. However, at the discretion of core maintainers, new features may be added. They must be approved by Noah Gibbs or Nick Schwaderer, and described in this file. They cannot conflict or damage backwards compatibility with the original Shoes library.

Page Navigation

Similar to URL navigation. see url_navigation_single_app.rb for an example. Unlike URLs, they do not accept parameters, only the name of the page. They are simply declared and named in blocks.

Shoes.app do
  page(:home) do
    title "Home Page"
    para "Welcome to the home page"
    button "Go to another page" do
      visit(:another_page)
    end
  end

  page(:another_page) do
    title "Another Page"
    para "Welcome to another page"
    button "Go to home page" do
      visit(:home)
    end
  end
end
