The first 1/2 of the third chapter, Controlling Traffic is done. This part covers Routes:
- their basic uses and extending the core capabilities,
- provides thorough use cases for the reserved routes,
- talks about a simple way to block so-called "Magic Routing" so that the system won't match up routes with controller/method pairs, but only use routes that have been listed
- creating optional wildcards
- custom wildcards to enhance the semantics and readability of your routes
- versioning your routes for use in an API
and more. All without extending or hacking the core class.
Unfortunately, I've had to switch editors since the previous one was inserting hidden characters that messed with LeanPub's conversion process, so I can't give full stats, but this section is an additional 3123 words, bringing the total to around 10,559 words give or take, since some editing has happened on previous chapters.
The next section of this chapter is covering Controllers and Controller tricks.
