Method Detail

__construct() public

__construct(string $template, array $defaults, array $options)

Constructor for a Route

Options

_ext - Defines the extensions used for this route.
_middleware - Define the middleware names for this route.
pass - Copies the listed parameters into params['pass'].
_host - Define the host name pattern if you want this route to only match specific host names. You can use .* and to create wildcard subdomains/hosts e.g. *.example.com matches all subdomains on example.com.
_method - Defines the HTTP method(s) the route applies to. It can be a string or array of valid HTTP method name.

Parameters

string $template: Template string with parameter placeholders
array $defaults optional: Defaults for the route.
array $options optional: Array of additional options for the Route

InvalidArgumentException
When `$options['_method']` are not in `VALID_METHODS` list.

Returns

bool

_parseArgs() protected

_parseArgs(string $args, array $context)

Return true if a given named $param's $val matches a given $rule depending on $context. Currently implemented rule types are controller, action and match that can be combined with each other.

Parameters

string $args: A string with the passed params. eg. /1/foo

Returns

string[]

Array of passed args.

_parseExtension() protected

_parseExtension(string $url)

Removes the extension from $url if it contains a registered extension.

If no registered extension is found, no extension is returned and the URL is returned unmodified.

Parameters

string $url: The url to parse.

Returns

array

containing url, extension

_persistParams() protected

_persistParams(array $url, array $params)

Parameters

array $url: The array to apply persistent parameters to.
array $params: An array of persistent values to replace persistent ones.

Returns

array

An array with persistent parameters applied.

_underscore() protected

_underscore(array $url)

Parameters

array $url: An array of URL keys.
