NAME

Mojolicious::Routes - Always find your destination with routes!

SYNOPSIS

  use Mojolicious::Routes;

  # New route 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');

  # 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!') });
