To configure RESTful resource routes in a ColdBox application, call resources("modelName") in your config/Router.cfc file. This function automatically generates standard CRUD routes that map HTTP verbs directly to corresponding handler actions.

The best way to group API routes with shared prefixes and middleware in ColdBox is using route groups. Route groups allow you to organize web and API endpoints by applying shared namespaces, URL prefixes, and middleware to nested route definitions.

You enforce numeric or UUID constraints on ColdBox route parameters by applying regex pattern constraints within your Router.cfc. This restricts matching routes to specific formats like numeric IDs, UUIDs, or slugs, ensuring invalid URL structures are rejected.

Yes, you can generate reliable URLs in ColdBox templates using named routes. By defining named routes in Router.cfc, you can use buildLink-compatible references to generate URLs across handlers and templates without hardcoding paths.

You restrict ColdBox routes to specific HTTP methods by enforcing HTTP verbs during route definition in Router.cfc. This ensures routes only respond to designated methods like GET, POST, PUT, or DELETE, returning errors for unsupported verbs.

Yes, ColdBox routing supports mounting module-based APIs with versioned groups. You can organize web and API routing separately by combining module routing with versioned route groups, shared prefixes, and resource definitions.
