Can I have a front-end page/endpoing that is not reflecting api? #68

I wanted to make a login page at /login, that I can redirect to whenever someone is not logged in.

I created a template front/login/getIndex.jade and setup the angularjs routes:

  .when('/login', {
    templateUrl: '/html/login/getIndex.html',
    controller: 'login'
  });

If I try to hit /login i get a 404. However, if I link to /login from within angularjs it works.

I then realized that the 404 was caused by the fact that I did not have a getIndex request handler defined in back/login. The server should properly log some error message in this case!

But, wouldn't it be nice to be able to have endpoints that does not require back-end data?

Yup, the reverse would also be good, an API GET endpoint without an associated view.

For now though, I'd just use express to create the endpoint you require in back-app.js

Doesn't that work already?

Nope, it makes a view endpoint for all GET API handlers: https://github.com/JonAbrams/synth/blob/master/synth.js#L121
