`directory.py` is the place for storing your Global Variable.

GV_base_url </br>
Is the variable for your base URL (without `/` in the end).

GV_title </br>
Is the variable for your web title.

### Directory (config/directory.py)

`directory.py` is the place for storing your path. It is useful to calling the path more efficiently. there is 2 method that you can store your path. store it in variable for templating configuration, and store it as object for routing the url.

This is example that use for templating

    html_user       = "static/pages-user"
    template_user   = "static/template-user"

And this is example that use for routing the url

    dirconfig = {
        '/' :
        {
            'tools.sessions.on'     : True ,
            'tools.staticdir.root'  : os.path.abspath(os.getcwd()) ,
        },
        '/your_dir' :
        {
            'tools.staticdir.on'    : True ,
            'tools.staticdir.dir'   : './static/your-dir' ,
        },
    }

### Templating (config/template.py)

Templating is useful when you had more than 1 website template for difference use case. For an example, when you had user and admin in the use case, the website for user have a navbar and footer, and the website for admin have a navbar and sidebar.

Before you create a template, make sure your `directory` configuration is ready for storing templates and pages. For an example:

    html_user       = "static/pages-user"
    template_user   = "static/template-user"

To create the template, you need to insert this code in `def __init__(self)`

    self.html_pages_user        = html.main.get_html(directory.html_user)
    self.html_template_user     = html.main.get_html(directory.template_user)

if you had admin template, you just need to add the code. for the example like this

    self.html_pages_user        = html.main.get_html(directory.html_user)
    self.html_template_user     = html.main.get_html(directory.template_user)

    self.html_pages_admin       = html.main.get_html(directory.html_admin)
    self.html_template_admin    = html.main.get_html(directory.template_admin)

and then you need create function for each of your template in main class like this

    def user(self, page):
        params_list = {
            "template"  : self.html_template_user        ["user.html"           ]   ,
            "topnav"    : self.html_template_user        ["user-topnav.html"    ]   ,
            "container" : self.html_pages_user           [page+".html"          ]
        }
        return params_list

### Database (config/database.py)

This is the sample template for configure it

    db_default = {
        'host'          : 'localhost',
        'user'          : 'root',
        'password'      : '',
        'database'      : 'your_db',
        'autocommit'    : True,
    }

You also can make more than 1 database configuration like this

    db_default = {
        'host'          : 'localhost',
        'user'          : 'root',
        'password'      : '',
        'database'      : 'your_db',
        'autocommit'    : True,
    }

    db_other = {
        'host'          : 'localhost',
        'user'          : 'root',
        'password'      : '',
        'database'      : 'other_db',
        'autocommit'    : True,
    }

## Handling the modules
