Class EntityRoute
Matches entities to routes
This route will match by entity and map its fields to the URL pattern by comparing the field names with the template vars. This makes it easy and convenient to change routes globally.

Method Detail
__construct() ¶ public
__construct(string $template, array|string $defaults = [], array $options = [])Constructor for a Route
Options
_ext- Defines the extensions used for this route._middleware- Define the middleware names for this route.pass- Copies the listed parameters into params['pass']._host- Define the host name pattern if you want this route to only match specific host names. You can use.*and to create wildcard subdomains/hosts e.g.*.example.commatches all subdomains onexample.com.
Parameters
-
string$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() ¶ public static
__set_state(array $fields): Cake\Routing\Route\RouteSet state magic method to support var_export
This method helps for applications that want to implement router caching.
Parameters
-

Returns
voidThrows
RuntimeException_matchMethod() ¶ protected
_matchMethod(array $url): boolCheck whether or not the URL's HTTP method matches.
Parameters

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.

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
