Routes Tool¶
The routes tool 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 /articles/edit/1
If your route contains any query string parameters remember to surround the URL in quotes:
bin/cake routes check "/articles/?page=1&sort=title&direction=desc"
Testing URL Generation¶
You can see the URL a routing array will generate using the
generate method:
bin/cake routes generate controller:Articles action:edit 1
