A decorator to bind a function to a request URL. Example::

                @app.route('/hello/<name>')
                def hello(name):
                    return 'Hello %s' % name

            The ``<name>`` part is a wildcard. See :class:`Router` for syntax
            details.

            :param path: Request path or a list of paths to listen to. If no
              path is specified, it is automatically generated from the
              signature of the function.
            :param method: HTTP method (`GET`, `POST`, `PUT`, ...) or a list of
              methods to listen to. (default: `GET`)
            :param callback: An optional shortcut to avoid the decorator
              syntax. ``route(..., callback=func)`` equals ``route(...)(func)``
            :param name: The name for this route. (default: None)
            :param apply: A decorator or plugin or a list of plugins. These are
              applied to the route callback in addition to installed plugins.
            :param skip: A list of plugins, plugin classes or names. Matching
              plugins are not installed to this route. ``True`` skips all.

            Any additional keyword arguments are stored as route-specific
            configuration and passed to plugins (see :meth:`Plugin.apply`).
