Routing

In the routing system, we specify the request path, method and the middleware we want from app/Config/routes.php file.

An example route config:

return static function (RouteCollector $routing) {
    $routing->route('/', [Main::class, 'index']);

    $routing->group('/book', function () use ($routing) {
        $routing->get('/', [BookMain::class, 'index']);
        $routing->get('/([0-9]+)', [Details::class, 'index']);
        $routing->post('/([0-9]+)', [Actions::class, 'add']);
        $routing->delete('/([0-9]+)', [Actions::class, 'delete'], middleware: [Authenticate::class]);
    });

    $routing->group('/user', function () use ($routing) {
        $routing->get('/([0-9]+)', [Profile::class, 'details']);
        $routing->group('/message', function () use ($routing) {
            $routing->post('/([0-9]+)', [Message::class, 'send']);
        });
    }, middleware: [Authenticate::class]);
};

Based on the above example, if we were to visualize the routes, it would look like this:

Path	Handler	Method	Middleware(s)
/	Main->index()	Any
/book	BookMain->index()	GET
/book/2	Details->index()	GET
/book/2	Actions->add()	POST
/book/2	Actions->delete()	DELETE	Authenticate
/user/2	Profile->details()	GET	Authenticate
/user/message/2	Message->send()	POST	Authenticate
