Router annotations optional param

Hi, I am trying to set an optional param in a method using annotations but it does not work.

Here is my code:

/**
 * Class MessagesController
 *
 * @RoutePrefix('/mail')
 */
class MessagesController extends \Phalcon\Mvc\Controller
{
    /**
     * @param $page
     *
     * @Get('/inbox[/]?(page:[0-9]*)')
     */
    public function inboxAction($page = 0)
    {
        // code ..
    }

It redirects me to index controller instead of messages controller

@Get("/inbox/{page:([0-9]+)}")

In your logic of Get annotation you accept inbox/page and /inboxpage routes. Param not defined.

I need the parameter to be optional so when I call either /mail/inbox or /mail/inbox/1 the method indexAction should be dispatched

this expression works with the second case only

@Get("/inbox/{page:([0-9]+)}")

I found the solution by using the @Get twice 

/**
     * @param $page
     *
     * @Get('/inbox')
     * @Get('/inbox/{page:[0-9]+}')
     */

Thank you

You don't bother?

Just write

@Get("/inbox/{page:([0-9]+)?}")

and in controller (example)

public function indexAction($pagenum = null)
    {

        is_string($pagenum) ?: $pagenum = "page/1";
        $paginator = new \Phalcon\Paginator\Adapter\Model(array(
            "data" => Discussions::find(array(
                'order' => 'createdAt DESC',
            )),
            "limit" => 15,
            "page" => (int) substr($pagenum, 5),
        ));
        $discussions = $paginator->getPaginate();
        $this->view->setVars(['discussions' => $discussions]);
    }

Then "/inbox" and "/inbox/page/1" will be work.

Sure, no :)

I test the code you write but the expression here is not wokring in case I do not provide a param value

@Get("/inbox/{page:([0-9]+)?}")

the router cannot find a match route
