custom base path play framework

Question

Is there a way to configure a custom root base path for all the routes?

for example:

/login
/user
/group

but I want to prepend everything with:

/v1/login
/v1/user
/v1/group

anyway to do it via a application.conf?

Answer 1

In current version (2.5) of play, the appropriate way is to add the desired base path to the play.http.context in the application.conf

play.http.context="/v1"

Answer 2

Yes. Suppose your routes file has the following routes

GET /login  controllers.login()
GET /user   controllers.user()
GET /group  controllers.group()

To achieve what you want, you just have to rename or move that rules to a new file (for example v1.routes) and then in the main routes file, use

->      /v1     v1.Routes

All the routes present in v1 file are now prepended with v1
