Nested Prefix routing => ....Controller could not be found

1

There is written:

When defining prefixes, you can nest multiple prefixes if necessary:

As example is shown:

$routes->prefix('Manager', function (RouteBuilder $routes) {
    $routes->prefix('Admin', function (RouteBuilder $routes) {
        $routes->connect('/{controller}/{action}');
    });
});

In my case this had to be:

    $routes->prefix('Backend', function (RouteBuilder $routes) {
        $routes->prefix('Admin', function (RouteBuilder $routes) {
            //$routes->connect('/{controller}/{action}'); //=> errormessage: BackendController could not be found.
            $routes->fallbacks(DashedRoute::class); //works
        });
    });

If I use (inside of $routes->prefix…)":

$routes->connect('/{controller}/{action}');

I get the error “BackendController could not be found.”

If I use

$routes->fallbacks(DashedRoute::class);

I get the wanted page displayed as expected.

Do I need to change something?

What URL are you trying to get to?

Thanks for your reply

I try to reach

http://192.168.178.39/termbase/customer/admin/users

where 192.168.178.39/termbase is the domain

and routing is:

$routes->prefix('Customer', function (RouteBuilder $routes) {
        $routes->prefix('Admin', function (RouteBuilder $routes) {
            $routes->connect('/{controller}/{action}'); //=> errormessage: ...Controller could not be found.
            //$routes->fallbacks(DashedRoute::class); //works
        });
    });

The error message is:

CustomerController could not be found.

I mostly just use explicit and fallback routes, not much in the way of parameterized ones like this, so take this with a grain of salt. But it seems to me that the URL you’re trying to access won’t match the route you’ve specified here because there is no action parameter.

Yeah. I would recommend reading up what fallbacks() does for you.
If you want to avoid that method, you need to replicate it properly.

You’re both right, and thank you for the advice. I’m still having a bit of trouble with the routing at the moment, but that’s due to my poor English skills.
