### <i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i> Casts the HTML pages to be add-on into the menu
### <i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i> Capture the legacy web pages as items into the menu
If your sketch handles web pages, you can embed the pages into the AutoConnect menu in continuance enjoying the utility of the WiFi connection feature. Unlike the custom Web pages by [AutoConnectElements](acelements.md), this allows to legacy web pages registered by *ESP8266WebServer::on* or *WebServer::on* function.
You can embed the ordinary page processed by the ESP8266WebServer request handler as an item into the AutoConnect menu. AutoConnect allows capturing the legacy web pages for ESP8266WebServer or WebServer of ESP32 and extends the menu containing these items, also Sketch can embed the legacy pages using the [*AutoConnect::append*](api.md#append) function.
To implement embedding your legacy web pages to the AutoConnect menu, you can use AutoConnectAux only constructed with the URI of the page to be embedding. AutoConnectElements is not required. The basic procedure for this as follows:
To process a web page using the ESP8266WebServer class (The WebServer class for ESP32), you usually register a handler with URI by the `on` function. The [*AutoConnect::append*](api.md#append) function creates internally an [**AutoConnectAux**](acintro.md) depended on its URI and integrates into the menu.
1. Declare AutoConnectAux for each legacy page. It includes the URI of the page and item string which will display in the AutoConnect menu.
2. Sketch the legacy page handlers.
3. Register those handler functions to ESP8266WebServer/WebServer with the **on** function.
4. Register AutoConnectAux declared with #1 to AutoConnect using [*AutoConnect::join*](api.md#join) function. It serves as a menu item.
5. [Begin](api.md#begin) the portal.
6. Performs [*AutoConnect::handleClient*](api.md#handleClient) in the **loop** function.
The following code has a mixture of both AutoConnectAux and the legacy web page. An AutoConnectAux page is menued automatically with the [*AutoConnect::join*](api.md#join) or [*AutoConnect::load*](api.md#load) function, and a legacy page is integrated by the [*AutoConnect::append*](api.md#append) function.

"</html>"
)));
}
});
void setup() {
// Step #3 as the above procedure
// Register the "on" handler as usual to ESP8266WebServer.
// Match this URI with the URI of AutoConnectAux to cast.
server.on("/hello", handleHello);
// Step #4 as the above procedure
// Joins AutoConnectAux to cast the page via the handleRoot to AutoConnect.
portal.join({ hello });
portal.begin(); // Step #5 as the above procedure
portal.append("/hello", "HELLO"); // Adds an item as HELLO into the menu
portal.load(FPSTR(PAGE)); // Load AutoConnectAux custom web page
portal.begin();
}

portal.handleClient();

For more details, see section [Constructing the menu](menuize.md) of Examples page.
The [*AutoConnect::append*](api.md#append) function also has the third parameter that directly specifies the request handler. It has similar efficacy to calling the append and `ESP8266WebSever::on` at once.
```cpp
portal.append("/hello", "HELLO", [](){
server.send(200, "text/html", String(F(
"<html>"
"<head><meta name='viewport' content='width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0'></head>"
"<body><h2>Hello, world</h2></body>"
"</html>"
)));
});
```
For more details, see section [Attach the menu](menuize.md) of Examples page.
!!! note "Necessary ESP8266WebServer/WebServer has materialized"
The WebServer must have instantiated for calling with a request handler parameter. AutoConnect can instantiate and host a WebServer internally, but in that case, the point in time to call the [AutoConnct::append](api.md#append) function with a request handler parameter must be after [AutoConnect::begin](api.md#begin).

### <i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i> Detect WiFi connection establishment with a router
[*AutoConnect::onConnect*](api.md#onconnect) allows the Sketch to detect a WiFi connection to a router. The Sketch uses [*AutoConnect::onConnect*] to register a function to call when WiFi connected.
For example, as the following Sketch, this can be combined with [*AutoConnectConfig::retainPortal*](apiconfig.md#retainportal) to stop **SoftAP** in a **loop()**. It avoids blocking in the captive portal state by AutoConnect and allows the loop to run even without a WiFi connection.
```cpp hl_lines="13 14 15 16 17 18 19"
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <ESP8266WebServer.h>
#include <AutoConnect.h>
AutoConnect Portal;
AutoConnectConfig config;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
config.portalTimeout = 1;
config.retainPortal = true;
portal.config(config);
portal.onConnect([](IPAddress& ip){
Serial.printf("Connected %s\n", ip.toString().c_str());
if (WiFi.getMode() == WI_AP_STA) {
WiFi.softAPdisconnect(false);
WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);
}
});
portal.begin();
}
void loop() {
// Here, the Sketch can execute without WiFi connection.
// It avoids blocking the state by the captive portal even if the captive portal is available.
portal.handleClient();
}
```
!!! note "It is not an event"
AutoConnect::onConnect has the same effect on the Sketch as the [WiFi.onStationModeConnected](https://arduino-esp8266.readthedocs.io/en/latest/esp8266wifi/generic-class.html#onevent), but AutoConnect does not use the event. Sketch can use `WiFi.onEvent` independently of AutoConnect.

Creates an AutoConnectAux dynamically with the specified URI and integrates it into the menu. Calls with a request handler parameter can use this function as menu registration for a legacy page of ESP8266WebServer/WebServer. If the **handler** parameter specified, also it will register the request handler for the ESP8266WebServer/WebServer.
AutoConnect manages the menu items using a sequence list, and this function always adds the item to the end of the list. Therefore, the order of the menu items is the additional order.
Returns the pointer to created AutoConnectAux instance, the `nullptr` if an AutoConnectAux with the same URI already exists.
