CakePHP 3.x and 4.x  
Is there a way to write dynamic routes in DB ?

Example :  
I tried to fill a url field with : [‘controller’ =\> ‘Articles’, ‘action’ =\> ‘view’, 2]  
and then I wrote Router::url($item-\>url)  
(this route is also defined in routes.php)

Best would be to be able to write a full route like :  
(’/la-librairie’, [‘controller’ =\> ‘articles’, ‘action’ =\> ‘index’, 2])  
and then : $routes-\>connect($item-\>url)  
I tried several combinations but none did work.

The aim is to be able to write dynamic urls easily.

Any idea ?
