Rohr makes usage of routes and controllers very similar to what Ruby on Rails 2 had.
Instead of creating bunch of RESTful routes in bootstrap one can use just
Route::resource('photos');Module will make usage of routes with verbs according to table below (as far as I remember RoR has similar):
| Verb | Path | Action | Used for |
|---|---|---|---|
| GET | /photos | index | display a list of all photos |
| GET | /photos/new | new | return an HTML form for creating a new photo |
| POST | /photos | create | create a new photo |
| GET | /photos/:id | show | display a specific photo |
| GET | /photos/:id/edit | edit | return an HTML form for editing a photo |
| PUT | /photos/:id | update | update a specific photo |
| PATCH | /photos/:id | patch | partially update a specific photo |
| DELETE | /photos/:id | destroy | delete a specific photo |
To finish RESTful functionality one has to implement controller that extends Controller_Common_Resources
Some more examples
// API Users
$options_api = array(
'prefix' => 'api/v1/',
'directory' => 'api',
);
Route::resource('users', $options_api);
// Management of tags
$options_manage = array(
'prefix' => 'manage/',
'directory' => 'manage',
);
Route::resource('tags', $options_manage);
// Extended resource
Route::extend_resource('users',
array(
'tags',
),
$options_api);
