Add your first dynamic page

For a new dispatch file, use the complete list below. In an existing dispatch list, insert the tuple before broader matching rules and separate entries with commas:

[
    {garden_welcome, ["welcome"], controller_template,
        [{template, "garden_welcome.tpl"}]}
].

Create priv/templates/garden_welcome.tpl:

{% extends "base.tpl" %}
{% block content %}
    <h1>{_ Welcome _}</h1>
    <p>{{ m.site.title|escape }}</p>
{% endblock %}

Confirm that your generated base.tpl has a content block; adapt the block name if it differs. Reload /welcome on the site's configured hostname and check that the site title appears.

Use {% url garden_welcome %} to link to this route. For ordinary CMS content, prefer resource page URLs instead of inventing a dispatch rule per page. See Follow a request to its template and Link to resources and dispatch routes.

Save the dispatch list as apps_user/garden/priv/dispatch/garden (create the directory if needed). Save the template under apps_user/garden/priv/templates/. After file handling has refreshed the rules, run bin/zotonic dispatch garden /welcome; expect the garden_welcome rule and controller_template before checking the browser.
