What problem does it solve?

This skill simplifies URL-to-handler mapping in ColdBox applications, reducing routing errors, duplicated boilerplate, and mismatched route/link definitions by providing clear patterns for resources, groups, constraints, and named routes.

Core Features & Use Cases

• RESTful resource generation: Use resources() to generate standard CRUD routes for common models.
• Route groups & API versioning: Group routes with shared prefixes, namespaces, and middleware to organize web and API endpoints.
• Constraints & HTTP verb enforcement: Apply regex constraints for numeric IDs, UUIDs, and slugs and restrict routes to specific HTTP methods.
• Named routes & link building: Define named routes to reliably generate URLs in handlers and templates.
• Use Case: Mount a module-based API with versioned groups and resources to separate web and API routing while enforcing parameter constraints.

Quick Start

Open your config/Router.cfc, enable full rewrites, add a named route and a resources("users") call to generate standard CRUD routes.
