More Route Examples

There are countless other possibilities for routes. Here are some more examples:

/*

 * Authentication shortcuts

 */

Route::set('auth', '<action>',

  array(

    'action' => '(login|logout)'

  ))

  ->defaults(array(

    'controller' => 'auth'

  ));

/*

 * Multi-format feeds

 *   452346/comments.rss

 *   5373.json

 */

Route::set('feeds', '<user_id>(/<action>).<format>',

  array(

    'user_id' => '\d+',

    'format' => '(rss|atom|json)',

  ))

  ->defaults(array(

    'controller' => 'feeds',

    'action' => 'status',

  ));

/*

 * Static pages

 */

Route::set('static', '<path>.html',

  array(

    'path' => '[a-zA-Z0-9_/]+',

  ))

  ->defaults(array(

    'controller' => 'static',

    'action' => 'index',

  ));

/*

 * You don't like slashes?

 *   EditGallery:bahamas

 *   Watch:wakeboarding

 */

Route::set('gallery', '<action>(<controller>):<id>',

  array(

    'controller' => '[A-Z][a-z]++',

    'action'     => '[A-Z][a-z]++',

  ))

  ->defaults(array(

    'controller' => 'Slideshow',

  ));

/*

 * Quick search

 */

Route::set('search', ':<query>', array('query' => '.*'))

  ->defaults(array(

    'controller' => 'search',

    'action' => 'index',

  ));

Routes are matched in the order specified so be aware that if you set routes after the modules have been loaded a module could specify a route that conflicts with your own. This is also the reason that the default route is set last, so that custom routes will be tested first.
