The router provides a set of macros for generating routes that dispatch to specific controllers and actions. Those macros are named after HTTP verbs. For example: defmodule MyApp.Router do use Phoenix.Router get "/pages/:page", PageController, :show end The `get/3` macro above accepts a request of format "/pages/VALUE" and dispatches it to the show action in the `PageController`. Routes can also match glob-like patterns, routing any path with a common base to the same controller. For example: get "/dynamic*anything", DynamicController, :show Phoenix's router is extremely efficient, as it relies on Elixir pattern matching for matching routes and serving requests. ### Helpers Phoenix automatically generates a module `Helpers` inside your router which contains named helpers to help developers generate and keep their routes up to date. Helpers are automatically generated based on the controller name. For example, the route: get "/pages/:page", PageController, :show will generate the following named helper: MyApp.Router.Helpers.page_path(conn_or_endpoint, :show, "hello") "/pages/hello" MyApp.Router.Helpers.page_path(conn_or_endpoint, :show, "hello", some: "query") "/pages/hello?some=query" MyApp.Router.Helpers.page_url(conn_or_endpoint, :show, "hello") "http://example.com/pages/hello?some=query" MyApp.Router.Helpers.page_url(conn_or_endpoint, :show, "hello", some: "query") "http://example.com/pages/hello?some=query" The url generated in the named url helpers is based on the configuration for `:url`, `:http` and `:https`. The named helper can also be customized with the `:as` option. Given the route: get "/pages/:page", PageController, :show, as: :special_page the named helper will be: MyApp.Router.Helpers.special_page_path(conn, :show, "hello") "/pages/hello" ### Scopes and Resources The router also supports scoping of routes: scope "/api/v1", as: :api_v1 do get "/pages/:id", PageController, :show end For example, the route above will match on the path `"/api/v1/pages/:id" and the named route will be `api_v1_page_path`, as expected from the values given to `scope/2` option. Phoenix also provides a `resources/4` macro that allows developers to generate "RESTful" routes to a given resource: defmodule MyApp.Router do use Phoenix.Router resources "/pages", PageController, only: [:show] resources "/users", UserController, except: [:delete] end Finally, Phoenix ships with a `mix phoenix.routes` task that nicely formats all routes in a given router. We can use it to verify all routes included in the router above: $ mix phoenix.routes page_path GET /pages/:id PageController.show/2 user_path GET /users UserController.index/2 user_path GET /users/:id/edit UserController.edit/2 user_path GET /users/new UserController.new/2 user_path GET /users/:id UserController.show/2 user_path POST /users UserController.create/2 user_path PATCH /users/:id UserController.update/2 PUT /users/:id UserController.update/2 One can also pass a router explicitly as an argument to the task: $ mix phoenix.routes MyApp.Router Check `scope/2` and `resources/4` for more information. ## Pipelines and plugs Once a request arrives at the Phoenix router, it performs a series of transformations through pipelines until the request is dispatched to a desired end-point. Such transformations are defined via plugs, as defined in the [Plug](http://github.com/elixir-lang/plug) specification. Once a pipeline is defined, it can be piped through per scope. For example: defmodule MyApp.Router do use Phoenix.Router pipeline :browser do plug :fetch_session plug :accepts, ["html"] end scope "/" do pipe_through :browser # browser related routes and resources end end `Phoenix.Router` imports functions from both `Plug.Conn` and `Phoenix.Controller` to help define plugs. In the example above, `fetch_session/2` comes from `Plug.Conn` while `accepts/2` comes from `Phoenix.Controller`. Note that router pipelines are only invoked after a route is found. No plug is invoked in case no matches were found.
