    string
    The compiled route regular expression
  • $_extensions protected
    array

  • $_greedy protected
    string

    Is this route a greedy route? Greedy routes have a /* in their template

    Set state magic method to support var_export
  • _matchMethod() protected
    Check whether or not the URL's HTTP method matches.
  • _parseArgs() protected
    Parse passed parameters into a list of passed args.

  • 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.

Method Detail

__construct()source public

__construct( string $template , array|string $defaults [] , array $options [] )

Constructor for a Route

Options

  • _ext - Defines the extensions used for this route.
  • pass - Copies the listed parameters into params['pass'].

Parameters

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

__set_state()source public static

__set_state( array $fields )

Set state magic method to support var_export

This method helps for applications that want to implement router caching.

Parameters

array $fields
Key/Value of object attributes

Returns

Cake\Routing\Route\Route
A new instance of the route

_matchMethod()source protected

_matchMethod( array $url )

Check whether or not the URL's HTTP method matches.

Parameters

array $url
The array for the URL being generated.

Returns

boolean

_parseArgs()source protected

_parseArgs( string $args , string $context )

Parse passed parameters into a list of passed args.

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
string $context
The current route context, which should contain controller/action keys.

Returns

array
Array of passed args.

_parseExtension()source 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()source protected

_persistParams( array $url , array $params )

Apply persistent parameters to a URL array. Persistent parameters are a special key used during route creation to force route parameters to persist when omitted from a URL array.

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.

_writeRoute()source protected

_writeRoute( )

Composes the string URL using the template used to create the route.

Parameters

array $params
The params to convert to a string url
array $pass optional []
The additional passed arguments
array $query optional []
An array of parameters

Returns

string
Composed route string.

Returns

array
Returns a string regular expression of the compiled route.

compiled()source public

compiled( )

Check if a Route has been compiled into a regular expression.

Returns

boolean

extensions()source public

extensions( null|string|array $extensions null )

Get/Set the supported extensions for this route.
