starlette/docs/routing.md

Starlette includes a Router class which is an ASGI application that dispatches incoming requests to endpoints or submounted applications.

from starlette.routing import Mount, Route, Router
from myproject import Homepage, SubMountedApp


app = Router([
    Route('/', endpoint=Homepage, methods=['GET']),
    Mount('/mount', app=SubMountedApp)
])

Paths can use URI templating style to capture path components.

Route('/users/{username}', endpoint=User, methods=['GET'])

Path parameters are made available in the request, as the request.path_params dictionary.

Because the target of a Mount is an ASGI instance itself, routers allow for easy composition. For example:

app = Router([
    Route('/', endpoint=Homepage, methods=['GET']),
    Mount('/users', app=Router([
        Route('/', endpoint=Users, methods=['GET', 'POST']),
        Route('/{username}', endpoint=User, methods=['GET']),
    ]))
])

The router will respond with "404 Not found" or "405 Method not allowed" responses for requests which do not match.
