NAME

Mojolicious::Routes::Route − Route

SYNOPSIS

use Mojolicious::Routes::Route;
my $r = Mojolicious::Routes::Route−>new;

DESCRIPTION

Mojolicious::Routes::Route is the route container used by Mojolicious::Routes.

ATTRIBUTES

Mojolicious::Routes::Route implements the following attributes.

children

my $children = $r−>children;
$r = $r−>children([Mojolicious::Routes::Route−>new]);

The children of this route, used for nesting routes.

inline

my $bool = $r−>inline;
$r = $r−>inline($bool);

Allow "under" semantics for this route.

parent

my $parent = $r−>parent;
$r = $r−>parent(Mojolicious::Routes::Route−>new);

The parent of this route, usually a Mojolicious::Routes::Route object. Note that this attribute is weakened.

partial

my $bool = $r−>partial;
$r = $r−>partial($bool);

Route has no specific end, remaining characters will be captured in "path".

pattern

my $pattern = $r−>pattern;
$r = $r−>pattern(Mojolicious::Routes::Pattern−>new);

Pattern for this route, defaults to a Mojolicious::Routes::Pattern object.

METHODS

Mojolicious::Routes::Route inherits all methods from Mojo::Base and implements the following new ones.

add_child

$r = $r−>add_child(Mojolicious::Routes::Route−>new);

Add a child to this route, it will be automatically removed from its current parent if necessary.

# Reattach route
$r−>add_child($r−>find('foo'));

any

my $route = $r−>any;
my $route = $r−>any('/:foo');
my $route = $r−>any('/:foo' => sub ($c) {...});
my $route = $r−>any('/:foo' => sub ($c) {...} => 'name');
my $route = $r−>any('/:foo' => {foo => 'bar'} => sub ($c) {...});
my $route = $r−>any('/:foo' => [foo => qr/\w+/] => sub ($c) {...});
my $route = $r−>any('/:foo' => (agent => qr/Firefox/) => sub ($c) {...});
my $route = $r−>any(['GET', 'POST'] => '/:foo' => sub ($c) {...});
my $route = $r−>any(['GET', 'POST'] => '/:foo' => [foo => qr/\w+/]);

Generate Mojolicious::Routes::Route object matching any of the listed HTTP request methods or all.

# Route with pattern and destination
$r−>any('/user')−>to('user#whatever');

All arguments are optional, but some have to appear in a certain order, like the two supported array reference values, which contain the HTTP methods to match and restrictive placeholders.

# Route with HTTP methods, pattern, restrictive placeholders and destination
$r−>any(['DELETE', 'PUT'] => '/:foo' => [foo => qr/\w+/])−>to('foo#bar');

There are also two supported string values, containing the route pattern and the route name, defaulting to the pattern "/" and a name based on the pattern.

# Route with pattern, name and destination
$r−>any('/:foo' => 'foo_route')−>to('foo#bar');

An arbitrary number of key/value pairs in between the route pattern and name can be used to specify route conditions.

# Route with pattern, condition and destination
$r−>any('/' => (agent => qr/Firefox/))−>to('foo#bar');

A hash reference is used to specify optional placeholders and default values for the stash.

# Route with pattern, optional placeholder and destination
$r−>any('/:foo' => {foo => 'bar'})−>to('foo#bar');

And a code reference can be used to specify a "cb" value to be merged into the default values for the stash.

# Route with pattern and a closure as destination
$r−>any('/:foo' => sub ($c) {
$c−>render(text => 'Hello World!');
});

See Mojolicious::Guides::Tutorial and Mojolicious::Guides::Routing for more information.
