NAME
MojoX::Routes - Always Find Your Destination With Routes
SYNOPSIS
use MojoX::Routes;
# New routes tree
my $r = MojoX::Routes->new;
# Normal route matching "/articles" with parameters "controller" and
# "action"
$r->route('/articles')->to(controller => 'article', action => 'list');
# Route with a placeholder matching everything but "/" and "."
$r->route('/:controller')->to(action => 'list');
# Route with a placeholder and regex constraint
$r->route('/articles/:id', id => qr/\d+/)
->to(controller => 'article', action => 'view');
# Route with an optional parameter "year"
$r->route('/archive/:year')
->to(controller => 'archive', action => 'list', year => undef);
# Nested route for two actions sharing the same "controller" paramater
my $books = $r->route('/books/:id')->to(controller => 'book');
$books->route('/edit')->to(action => 'edit');
$books->route('/delete')->to(action => 'delete');
# Bridges can be used to chain multiple routes
$r->bridge->to(controller => 'foo', action =>'auth')
->route('/blog')->to(action => 'list');
# Waypoints are similar to bridges and nested routes but can also match
# if they are not the actual endpoint of the whole route
my $b = $r->waypoint('/books')->to(controller => 'books', action => 'list');
$b->route('/:id', id => qr/\d+/)->to(action => 'view');DESCRIPTION
MojoX::Routes is a very powerful implementation of the famous routes pattern and the core of the Mojolicious web framework.
ATTRIBUTES
MojoX::Routes implements the following attributes.
block
my $block = $r->block;
$r = $r->block(1);Allow this route to match even if it's not an endpoint, used for waypoints.
children
my $children = $r->children;
$r = $r->children([MojoX::Routes->new]);The children of this routes object, used for nesting routes.
conditions
my $conditions = $r->conditions;
$r = $r->conditions([foo => qr/\w+/]);Contains condition parameters for this route, used for over.
dictionary
my $dictionary = $r->dictionary;
$r = $r->dictionary({foo => sub { ... }});Contains all available conditions for this route. There are currently two conditions built in, method and websocket.
inline
my $inline = $r->inline;
$r = $r->inline(1);Allow bridge semantics for this route.
name
my $name = $r->name;
$r = $r->name('foo');The name of this route.
parent
my $parent = $r->parent;
$r = $r->parent(MojoX::Routes->new);The parent of this route, used for nesting routes.
pattern
my $pattern = $r->pattern;
$r = $r->pattern(MojoX::Routes::Pattern->new);Pattern for this route, by default a MojoX::Routes::Pattern object and used for matching.
