route_to not working with controller::method - eafarooqi - 03-05-2020
hi
why route_to method doesn't work with the controller::method when setAutoRoute is set to true and there is no route defined in the Routes.php
<?php echo route_to('App\Controllers\Home::TestFunction')?>
<?php echo route_to('Home::TestFunction')?>
Doesn't work.
Is this not supported? do i have to define the Route in Routes.php to use route_to function.
It would be a nice feature to have another function if not route_to which auto detect the Controller and functions without any route in Routes.php.
This works
<?php echo site_url('home/TestFunction'); ?>

You need to setup the route correct:
Example:
PHP Code:
$routes->get('admin', 'Admin::index', ['as' => 'admin']);
See the as => admin
then you can add.
PHP Code:
route_to('admin');
In your html view file.
route_to needs a defined route in the Routes.php file to work.

yes i know. but i want to use the AutoRoute feature with route_to or may be with another function, without defining any routes in Routes.php file, because there are too many routes in the application.
like:
<?php echo route_to('App\Controllers\Home::TestFunction')?>
May be i will extend or create a helper function to do it.

From what I read in the User's Guide I believe you need to set your route in the html file
like this.
PHP Code:
<?= base_url('Controller/Method'); ?>Then the auto routing will try to match it against the controller and method.
