if i nest the router block inside the bean
i can write:

bean {
        val personHandler = PersonHandler(ref())
        router {
            "/person".nest {
                GET("/", personHandler::readAll)
                GET("/{id}", personHandler::readOne)
            }
        }
    }

it compiles
but the route is not found at runtime

If you're not using Bean definition DSL, you need to inject the handler in the configuration class where the routes are defined. Example can be found on https://github.com/mixitconf/mixit/blob/bad6b92bce6193f9b3f696af9d416c276501dbf1/src/main/kotlin/mixit/web/routes/ApiRoutes.kt#L11

thanks
that’s what i do
but i want to do without the @Configuration annotation
i stumbled upon that:
https://github.com/sdeleuze/spring-kotlin-functional/blob/master/src/main/kotlin/functional/web/Routes.kt
then it seems to be assembled like that:

bean("webHandler") {
		RouterFunctions.toWebHandler(ref<Routes>().router(), HandlerStrategies.builder().viewResolver(ref()).build())
	}

i removed the second argument because i don’t have views

bean("webHandler") {
		RouterFunctions.toWebHandler(ref<Routes>().router())
	}

to no avail...
