Provides features for building routes inside scopes.
Gives an easy to use way to build routes and append them into a route collection.

Constructor
routeClass - The default route class to use when adding routes.extensions - The extensions to connect when adding routes.namePrefix - The prefix to prepend to all route names.$collection $path $params optional [] $options optional [] _makeRoute( string|Cake\Routing\Route\Route $route , array $defaults , array $options )
Create a route object, or return the provided object.
Cake\Routing\Route\Route $route $defaults $options Cake\Routing\Route\RouteaddExtensions( string|array $extensions )
Add additional extensions to what is already in current scope
$extensions connect( string $route , array $defaults [] , array $options [] )
Connects a new Route.
Routes are a way of connecting request URLs to objects in your application. At their core routes are a set or regular expressions that are used to match requests to destinations.
Examples:
$routes->connect('/:controller/:action/*'); The first parameter will be used as a controller name while the second is used as the action name. The '/*' syntax makes this route greedy in that it will match requests like /posts/index as well as requests like /posts/edit/1/foo/bar.
$routes->connect('/home-page', ['controller' => 'Pages', 'action' => 'display', 'home']); The above shows the use of route parameter defaults. And providing routing parameters for a static route.
$routes->connect(
'/:lang/:controller/:action/:id',
[],
['id' => '[0-9]+', 'lang' => '[a-z]{3}']
); Shows connecting a route with custom route parameters as well as providing patterns for those parameters. Patterns for routing parameters do not need capturing groups, as one will be added for each route params.
$options offers several 'special' keys that have special meaning in the $options array.
pass is used to define which of the routed parameters should be shifted into the pass array. Adding a parameter to pass will remove it from the regular route array. Ex. 'pass' => ['slug'].routeClass is used to extend and change how individual routes parse requests and handle reverse routing, via a custom routing class. Ex. 'routeClass' => 'SlugRoute'
persist is used to define which route parameters should be automatically included when generating new URLs. You can override persistent parameters by redefining them in a URL or remove them by setting the parameter to false. Ex. 'persist' => ['lang']
multibytePattern Set to true to enable multibyte pattern support in route parameter patterns._name is used to define a specific name for routes. This can be used to optimize reverse routing lookups. If undefined a name will be generated for each connected route._ext is an array of filename extensions that will be parsed out of the url if present. See ScopedRouteCollection::extensions()._method Only match requests with specific HTTP verbs.Example of using the _method condition:
$routes->connect('/tasks', ['controller' => 'Tasks', 'action' => 'index', '_method' => 'GET']); The above route will only be matched for GET requests. POST requests will fail to match this route.
$route $defaults optional [] An array describing the default route parameters. These parameters will be used by default and can supply routing parameters that are not dynamic. See above.
$options optional [] An array matching the named elements in the route to regular expressions which that element should match. Also contains additional parameters such as which routed parameters should be shifted into the passed arguments, supplying patterns for routing parameters and supplying the name of a custom routing class.
extensions( null|string|array $extensions null )
Get or set the extensions in this route builder's scope.
Future routes connected in through this builder will have the connected extensions applied. However, setting extensions does not modify existing routes.
$extensions optional null fallbacks( string|null $routeClass null )
Connect the /:controller and /:controller/:action/* fallback routes.
This is a shortcut method for connecting fallback routes in a given scope.
$routeClass optional null the route class to use, uses the default routeClass if not specified
nameExists( string $name )
Checks if there is already a route with a given name.
$name namePrefix( string|null $value null )
Get/set the name prefix for this scope.
Modifying the name prefix will only change the prefix used for routes connected after the prefix is changed.
$value optional null plugin( string $name , array|callable $options [] , callable|null $callback null )
Add plugin routes.
This method creates a new scoped route collection that includes relevant plugin information.
The plugin name will be inflected to the underscore version to create the routing path. If you want a custom path name, use the path option.
Routes connected in the scoped collection will have the correct path segment prepended, and have a matching plugin routing key set.
$name $options optional [] $callback optional null The callback to invoke that builds the plugin routes Only required when $options is defined.
prefix( string $name , array|callable $params [] , callable $callback null )
Add prefixed routes.
This method creates a scoped route collection that includes relevant prefix information.
The path parameter is used to generate the routing parameter name. For example a path of admin would result in 'prefix' => 'admin' being applied to all connected routes.
You can re-open a prefix as many times as necessary, as well as nest prefixes. Nested prefixes will result in prefix values like admin/api which translates to the Controller\Admin\Api\ namespace.
$name $params optional [] An array of routing defaults to add to each connected route. If you have no parameters, this argument can be a callable.
$callback optional null redirect( string $route , array $url , array $options [] )
Connects a new redirection Route in the router.
Redirection routes are different from normal routes as they perform an actual header redirection if a match is found. The redirection can occur within your application or redirect to an outside location.
Examples:
$routes->redirect('/home/*', ['controller' => 'posts', 'action' => 'view']); Redirects /home/* to /posts/view and passes the parameters to /posts/view. Using an array as the redirect destination allows you to use other routes to define where an URL string should be redirected to.
$routes->redirect('/posts/*', 'http://google.com', ['status' => 302]); Redirects /posts/* to http://google.com with a HTTP status of 302
status Sets the HTTP status (default 301)persist Passes the params to the redirected route, if it can. This is useful with greedy routes, routes that end in * are greedy. As you can remap URLs and not loose any passed args.$route $url $options optional [] An array matching the named elements in the route to regular expressions which that element should match. Also contains additional parameters such as which routed parameters should be shifted into the passed arguments. As well as supplying patterns for routing parameters.
resources( string $name , array|callable $options [] , callable|null $callback null )
Generate REST resource routes for the given controller(s).
A quick way to generate a default routes to a set of REST resources (controller(s)).
Connect resource routes for an app controller:
$routes->resources('Posts'); Connect resource routes for the Comments controller in the Comments plugin:
Router::plugin('Comments', function ($routes) {
$routes->resources('Comments');
}); Plugins will create lower_case underscored resource routes. e.g /comments/comments
Connect resource routes for the Articles controller in the Admin prefix:
Router::prefix('admin', function ($routes) {
$routes->resources('Articles');
}); Prefixes will create lower_case underscored resource routes. e.g /admin/posts
You can create nested resources by passing a callback in:
$routes->resources('Articles', function ($routes) {
$routes->resources('Comments');
}); The above would generate both resource routes for /articles, and /articles/:article_id/comments. You can use the map option to connect additional resource methods:
$routes->resources('Articles', [
'map' => ['deleteAll' => ['action' => 'deleteAll', 'method' => 'DELETE']]
]); In addition to the default routes, this would also connect a route for /articles/delete_all. By default the path segment will match the key name. You can use the 'path' key inside the resource definition to customize the path name.
You can use the inflect option to change how path segments are generated:
$routes->resources('PaymentTypes', ['inflect' => 'dasherize']); Will generate routes like /payment-types instead of /payment_types
$name $options optional [] $callback optional null An optional callback to be executed in a nested scope. Nested scopes inherit the existing path and 'id' parameter.
routeClass( string|null $routeClass null )
Get or set default route class.
$routeClass optional null scope( string $path , array|callable $params , callable|null $callback null )
Create a new routing scope.
Scopes created with this method will inherit the properties of the scope they are added to. This means that both the current path and parameters will be appended to the supplied parameters.
$path $params $callback optional null The callback to invoke that builds the plugin routes. Only required when $params is defined.
