Handle subdomains for a Clojure classified web app hosted on Heroku
Heroku support wildcard subdomains: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/custom-domains#wildcard-domains.
You will have in the host header the original domain, which you can use with something like (completely untested):
(GET "/" {{host "host"} :headers} (str "Welcomed to " host))
You could also create your own routing MW (completely untested):
(defn domain-routing [domain-routes-map] (fn [req] (when-let [route (get domain-routes-map (get-in req [:headers "host"]))] (route req))))
And use it with something like:
(defroutes paris (GET "/" [] "I am in Paris")) (defroutes new-new-york (GET "/" [] "I am in New New York")) (def my-domain-specific-routes (domain-routing {"paris.example.com" paris "newnewyork.example.com" new-new-york}))
And yet another option is to create a "mod-rewrite" MW that modifies the uri before getting to the Compojure routes:
(defn subdomain-mw [handler] (fn [req] (let [new-path (str (subdomain-from-host (get-in req [:headers "host"]) "/" (:uri req))] (handler (assoc req :uri new-path)))) (defroutes my-routes (GET "/:subdomain/" [subdomain] (str "Welcomed to " subdomain))
Pick the one that suits your requirements.
