dashes to underscore in ci4 url
Step 1: Create a Custom Router
Create a custom router that converts dashes to underscores in controller methods.
File Path: app/Controllers/Router.php
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 | namespace App\Controllers; use CodeIgniter\Router\RouteCollection; class Router { public static function convertDashToUnderscore(RouteCollection $routes) { $routes->setAutoRoute(false); // Disable default auto-routing for security. // Add a custom handler for dashes in method names. $routes->setTranslateURIDashes(true); } } |
Step 2: Modify Routes.php
In app/Config/Routes.php, include the Router::convertDashToUnderscore method to enable the mapping.
Update Your Routes.php
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | use App\Controllers\Router; // Convert dashes to underscores in URLs automatically. Router::convertDashToUnderscore($routes); // Example route $routes->match(['get', 'post'], 'admin/configurator/configurator/(:any)', 'admin\configurator\Configurator::$1'); |
Step 3: Test the URL
Now, accessing http://yourdomain.com/admin/configurator/configurator/order-partial-payment will automatically call the order_partial_payment method in your controller.
Notes:
- Security Implications:
- Be cautious when enabling auto-routing (
$routes->setAutoRoute(true)), as it allows users to call any public method in your controllers. - It’s recommended to explicitly define routes to prevent unintended access.
- Be cautious when enabling auto-routing (
- Debugging:
- Check routes using
php spark routesto verify if your route is being mapped correctly.
- Check routes using
