Is it possible to define a route from a plugin? Or is that really the wrong way to go about?

EDIT: well, application.routing works obviously. However, I run into problems when it is a route scoped route.

Okay, so the route isn't the route I was expecting. I am wondering how I install a route in a route-scoped plugin. So imagine the route is at /foo I want the plugin to install at /bar

If I understood your question right, you install route-scoped plugins in the route body.

route("the-path") {
    install(ThePlugin)
}

Yes I know that, but I was wondering if I can CREATE routes in the custom route based plugin

[Johann Pardanaud]

You can’t, Renan’s answer is the way to go.

What is your task?

I am creating a plugin that, based on its configuration, needs to expose some routes.

In an application level plugin this works:

val AssetMapperPlugin = createApplicationPlugin(name, { AssetMapperConfiguration() }) {
....
    application.routing {
        get(...) {
        }

        staticResources(pluginConfig.remotePath, pluginConfig.basePackage)
    }
}
