Routes Shell¶
New in version 3.1: The RoutesShell was added in 3.1
The RoutesShell provides a simple to use CLI interface for testing and debugging routes. You can use it to test how routes are parsed, and what URLs routing parameters will generate.
Getting a List of all Routes¶
bin/cake routes
Testing URL parsing¶
You can quickly see how a URL will be parsed using the check method:
bin/cake routes check /bookmarks/edit/1
If your route contains any query string parameters remember to surround the URL in quotes:
bin/cake routes check "/bookmarks/?page=1&sort=title&direction=desc"
Testing URL Generation¶
You can see how which URL a routing array will generate using the
generate method:
bin/cake routes generate controller:Bookmarks action:edit 1
