Routing in a multimodule environment

Hi, I made something like this in file service.php

<?php
$di = new FactoryDefault();
....
/**
 * Router
 */
$di->set(
    'router',
    function () {
        //return include __DIR__ . "/../../app/config/routes_annotation.php";
        return include __DIR__ . "/../../app/config/routes.php";
    },
    true
);
....

After that in index.php I did something like that

    /**
     * Read services
     */
    include __DIR__ . "/../app/config/services.php";

    /**
     * Handle the request
     */
    $application = new \Phalcon\Mvc\Application($di);

    //Register the installed modules
    $application->registerModules(array(
        'frontend' => array(
            'className' => 'APP\Frontend\Module',
            'path' => '../app/modules/frontend/Module.php'
        ),
        'backend' => array(
            'className' => 'APP\Backend\Module',
            'path' => '../app/modules/backend/Module.php'
        )
    ));

In file where you register services for module you will have acess to route service and there you can extend whatever you want.

public function registerServices($di)
    {

        $dispatcher = $di->get('dispatcher');

        $router = $di->get('router');

        $router->add(...);

    }

I've made something similar but for the views. Hope it will help or not )

Hi,

If I understand, you want to define your module's route in each module itself and not in a gloal router.php ...

so after I had a look at this, I think that maybe adding $di['router'] definitions in public function registerServices($di) will do the trick.

Maybe this will be useful for you: https://vegas-cmf.github.io/1.0/guide/mvc/router.html

Hi guys, I've tried to place route configuration inside the 'registerServices' method of the module, but this is not even called if I remove route configs from the index.php.

I would like to accomplish this task in order to have the freedom to attach/detach modules with all their rules.

Any other ideas?

Thanks

@Sergio:

I think that I was not in the right direction. While following @Arius link I found that:

taken from: https://vegas-cmf.github.io/1.0/guide/mvc/module.html#new_module

mkdir app/modules/Foo/config
touch app/modules/Foo/config/config.php
touch app/modules/Foo/config/routes.php

// in routes.php

return array(
    'foo' => array(
        'route' => '/foo',
        'paths' => array(
            'module' => 'Foo',
            'controller' => 'Frontend\Foo',
            'action' => 'index'
        )
    )
);

then, in router service registration, you can load all the module's routes in a loop (you may a directory iterator).

I understand, so I will try to wrap Phalcon\Mvc\Application in a custom Application class that will merge all registered modules configs.

Thanks!
