Routing with variables

i would like you to try domain.something/admin/reports/stores/6 for web browser address bar at top url but make the route

Code:

$routes->get('admin/reports/stores/:num', 'Brands::stores/$1');

forget about the filter for now

and take out default value in method for now

i've taken out the forward slash in front of admin as well
