@moduledoc """
Defines a Phoenix router.
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.

Defines "RESTful" routes for a resource.
The given definition:
resources "/users", UserController
will include routes to the following actions:
* `GET /users` => `:index`
* `GET /users/new` => `:new`
* `POST /users` => `:create`
* `GET /users/:id` => `:show`
* `GET /users/:id/edit` => `:edit`
* `PATCH /users/:id` => `:update`
* `PUT /users/:id` => `:update`
* `DELETE /users/:id` => `:delete`
## Options
This macro accepts a set of options:
* `:only` - a list of actions to generate routes for, for example: `[:show, :edit]`
* `:except` - a list of actions to exclude generated routes from, for example: `[:delete]`
* `:param` - the name of the paramter for this resource, defaults to `"id"`
* `:name` - the prefix for this resource. This is used for the named helper
and as the prefix for the parameter in nested resources. The default value
is automatically derived from the controller name, i.e. `UserController` will
have name `"user"`
* `:as` - configures the named helper exclusively
* `:singleton` - defines routes for a singleton resource that is looked up by
the client without referencing an ID. Read below for more information
## Singleton resources
When a resource needs to be looked up without referencing an ID, because
it contains only a single entry in the given context, the `:singleton`
option can be used to generate a set of routes that are specific to
such single resource:
* `GET /user` => `:show`
* `GET /user/new` => `:new`
* `POST /user` => `:create`
* `GET /user/edit` => `:edit`
* `PATCH /user` => `:update`
* `PUT /user` => `:update`
* `DELETE /user` => `:delete`
Usage example:
`resources "/account", AccountController, only: [:show], singleton: true`
