Can we use `.gjs` for route templates?

Adding a new route to the app I found to be very non-obvious. I will document here for others.

I wanted to add a /print route at the root.

The final code that worked for me was as follows. county-fence is my plugin name, so replace that with your own.

Ember Route

assets/javascripts/discourse/routes/county-fence-route-map.js.es6

export default function() {
  this.route('print', { path: '/print' });
}

assets/javascripts/discourse/routes/print.js

import Route from "@ember/routing/route";

export default class PrintRoute extends Route {
  model() {
    return { message: "This is a custom print page!" };
  }
}

assets/javascripts/discourse/templates/print.gjs

import RouteTemplate from "ember-route-template";
import ...;

export default RouteTemplate(
  <template>
    ...
  </template>
)

API Route

plugin.rb

after_initialize do
  require_relative "app/controllers/print_controller"
end

app/controllers/print_controller.rb

# frozen_string_literal: true
# HTTP Status codes: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/lib/discourse.rb

class ::CountyFence::PrintController < ::ApplicationController
  requires_plugin CountyFence::PLUGIN_NAME


  def save_print
  end

  def list_prints
    render json: { name: "donut", description: "delicious!" }
  end

  def get_print
  end

end

Discourse::Application.routes.append do
  post "/print" => "county_fence/print#save_print"
  get "/print" => "county_fence/print#list_prints"
  get "/print/:id" => "county_fence/print#get_print"
end
