Renttek_VirtualControllers

Enables creating of routes with "virtual controllers"

Build Status Latest Stable Version License

What is a virtual controllers? A virtual controller is a path + an optional layout handle which will be set. With that it is possible to create custom routes where you can place custom blocks to your wishes. (In Magento 2 this is currently only possible by creating a route.xml & a dummy controller action, which returns a \Magento\Framework\View\Result\Page)

Comparison

Here is a short comparison of the minimal required code to create a custom route (example/page/view) in Magento 2 (given there is already a module My_Module)

Vanilla Magento 2

/etc/frontend/routes.xml /Controllers/Page/View.php ### With this Module /etc/virtual_controllers.xml ## Features ### Handles Besides the much simpler creation of custom routes, every route will get a few layout handles set: * "default" * "virtual_controller" * The given path, but all characters except `[a-z_]` are replaced by underscores. (`example/page/view` => `example_page_view`) The generated handle can also be set manually in the xml configuration like this: /etc/virtual_controllers.xml Routes can also be disabled by setting `disabled=true` in the configuration: ### Forwards Another feature is the possibility of creating forwards without creating a controller. Forwards are needed if you want to display another URL for a page. (e.g. 'my/shoppingcart' => 'checkout/cart') In V1 the attributes `controller` and `action` defaulted to 'index' if not specified. In V2 this is not the case! Forwards are only URLs/path that **CAN** be called. It does not extend/manipulate url generation in any way. ---- All routes are merged by the path attribute, so it is possible to disable routes from other modules.
