NAME

Mojolicious::Routes - Always find your destination with routes

SYNOPSIS

use Mojolicious::Routes;

# New routes tree
my $r = Mojolicious::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" parameter
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');

# Simplified Mojolicious::Lite style route generation is also possible
$r->get('/')->to(controller => 'blog', action => 'welcome');
my $blog = $r->under('/blog');
$blog->post('/list')->to('blog#list');
$blog->get(sub { shift->render(text => 'Go away!') });
