"""Associate a URI path with a resource
A resource is an instance of a class that defines various on_*
"responder" methods, one for each HTTP method the resource
allows. For example, to support GET, simply define an `on_get`
responder. If a client requests an unsupported method, Falcon
will respond with "405 Method not allowed".
Responders must always define at least two arguments to receive
request and response objects, respectively. For example:
def on_post(self, req, resp):
pass
In addition, if the route's uri template contains field
expressions, any responder that desires to receive requests
for that route must accept arguments named after the respective
field names defined in the template. For example, given the
following uri template:
/das/{thing}
A PUT request to "/das/code" would be routed to:
def on_put(self, req, resp, thing):
pass
If, on the other hand, the responder had been defined thus:
def on_put(self, req, resp):
pass
Args:
uri_template: Relative URI template. Currently only Level 1
templates are supported. See also RFC 6570. Care must be
taken to ensure the template does not mask any sink
patterns (see also add_sink).
resource: Object which represents an HTTP/REST "resource". Falcon
will pass "GET" requests to on_get, "PUT" requests to on_put,
etc. If any HTTP methods are not supported by your resource,
simply don't define the corresponding request handlers, and
Falcon will do the right thing.

matches the specified prefix, Falcon will pass control to the

Args:
sink: A callable of the form:
func(req, resp)
prefix: A regex string, typically starting with '/', which
will trigger the sink if it matches the path portion of the
request's URI. Both strings and precompiled regex objects
may be specified. Characters are matched starting at the
beginning of the URI path.
Named groups are converted to kwargs and passed to
the sink as such.
