Controller Filters - Input needed

Interesting. I'm glad everyone seemed to agree that separating the filter logic from the controllers is a good thing.

I have a few questions for the code posted above:

1) Would the $routes array mean that if I had 100 routes that I wanted to use a certain before filter but I did not want in the global score mean that I'd have to to set that filter for each individual one?
For example:

PHP Code:

    public $routes = [
        'admin/*' => [
            'before' => ['isLoggedIn'],
            'after' => ['somethingElse']
        ],
        'profiles/*' => [
            'before' => ['isLoggedIn'],
            'after' => ['somethingElse']
        ],
        'users/*' => [
            'before' => ['isLoggedIn'],
            'after' => ['somethingElse']
        ],
        'posts/*/store' => [
            'before' => ['isLoggedIn'],
            'after' => ['somethingElse']
        ],
        'posts/*/destroy' => [
            'before' => ['isLoggedIn'],
            'after' => ['somethingElse']
        ],
    ]; 


2) Would the $routes array follow the inputted url or the routed url?

3) Would it be simpler if we reversed the array and were able to create multiple routes under a group of filters? I would think it's much easier to copy a group of routes into a filter than add a filter to a bunch of routes.
