Method Detail
__construct() ¶ 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'].

__set_state() ¶ public static
__set_state(array $fields): CakeRouteSet state magic method to support var_export
This method helps for applications that want to implement router caching.
Parameters
-
array$fields Key/Value of object attributes
Returns
CakeRoute_matchMethod() ¶ protected
_matchMethod(array $url): boolCheck whether or not the URL's HTTP method matches.
Parameters
-
array$url The array for the URL being generated.
Returns
bool_parseArgs() ¶ protected
_parseArgs(string $args, string $context): arrayParse 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_parseExtension() ¶ protected
_parseExtension(string $url): arrayRemoves 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_persistParams() ¶ protected
_persistParams(array $url, array $params): arrayApply persistent parameters to a URL array. Persistent parameters are a special key used during route creation to force route parameters to persist when omitted from a URL array.
Parameters
-
array$url The array to apply persistent parameters to.
-
array$params An array of persistent values to replace persistent ones.
Returns
array_writeRoute() ¶ protected
_writeRoute(): voidBuilds a route regular expression.
Uses the template, defaults and options properties to compile a regular expression that can be used to parse request strings.
Returns
void_writeUrl() ¶ protected

-
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
stringcompile() ¶ public
compile(): arrayCompiles the route's regular expression.
Modifies defaults property so all necessary keys are set and populates $this->names with the named routing elements.
Returns
arraycompiled() ¶ public
compiled(): boolCheck if a Route has been compiled into a regular expression.
Returns
boolextensions() ¶ public
extensions(null|string|array $extensions = null): array|voidGet/Set the supported extensions for this route.
Parameters
-
null|string|array$extensions optional The extensions to set. Use null to get.
