Add support for getting the routes and resources set on a falcon.API instance

Can we get a publicly exposed way of getting the resources that have routes on a falcon.API object?

Currently I’m only aware of one way to do this, which does not seem clean or safe:

app = falcon.API()
...
routes = copy.copy(app._router._roots)
for route app._router._roots:
    routes.extend(route.children)
print(routes)

The use case I want to be able to support is auto-generating the “/info” endpoint based on the currently added routes. The example above is a simplified version of what falcon-apispec has to do to get the URI -> resource mapping that it uses for this use case.

Could we get something like app.get_routes() or app.get_resources()? My initial thought is the return value would be a dict with each URI as the key and the connected resource class instance as the value but as long as I can tell which resources are connected to which URI(s) I’ll be happy.

That’s looks like it will solve my problems nicely. I’ll have a play and let you kknow how it goes.

Thanks

Sorry for the slow response. I’ve had a play with this and this does exactly what I need (and more).

Thanks so much!
