Add interface that unifies *echo.Router and *echo.Group about echo

[vishr]

Are you using echo as router or web framework? I am having little difficulty understanding your situation. If you can explain it with some examples, it will help.

Echo.Group was separated from Echo to limit API. It should have minimum impact to most of the users.

I’m using echo mostly as a router. Here’s my use case: In my app, there’s a function that adds most of the routes into the echo router. That makes it difficult for this function to add routes simultaneously to both the root level via echo.Get() and to a sub-group via group.Get(). It’s working fine for now, because everything is just pointing to a group (and not the root level). But, one nice thing about echo was the ability to apply routes to either the root level or a sub-level using the exact same interface.

It should be simple enough to add an interface something like the code below. But, I completely understand you wanting to keep the API simple. So I understand if you’d rather skip this request.

type RouteMaker interface {
Get(string, Handler) error
Put(string, Handler) error
Post(string, Handler) error
Patch(string, Handler) error
Delete(string, Handler) error
}

Does this make sense? If it’s not clear, let me know how I can help clarify. :)

Ben, to me it's a very specific case, I will just create an interface myself and use it.

Yes. That makes sense. I wasn’t thinking that I could just make my own interface. Thanks!
