CakePHP 4 Installation

To create a CakePHP project, run this command into your shell or terminal. Make sure composer should be installed in your system.

$ composer create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app:~4.0 mycakephp

Above command will creates a project with the name called mycakephp.

How To Add Routes

In CakePHP 4, to add routes we prefer routes.php file from /config folder.

For example,

//..

$routes->scope('/', function (RouteBuilder $builder) {

    // Student Routes
    $builder->connect('/add-student', ['controller' => 'Students', 'action' => 'addStudent']);
    $builder->connect('/edit-student/:id', ['controller' => 'Students', 'action' => 'editStudent'], ["pass" => ["id"]]);
    $builder->connect('/list-students', ['controller' => 'Students', 'action' => 'listStudents']);

    // Ajax Routes
    $builder->connect('/ajax-add-student', ['controller' => 'Ajax', 'action' => 'ajaxAddStudent']);
    $builder->connect('/ajax-edit-student', ['controller' => 'Ajax', 'action' => 'ajaxEditStudent']);
    $builder->connect('/ajax-delete-student', ['controller' => 'Ajax', 'action' => 'ajaxDeleteStudent']);

});

//...

Above routes we have added into routes.php.

Check Application Routes

We have few options to check all available routes of application.

By routes.php file
By bin/cake command

We can see routes.php file directly for all available application routes.

Alternative way,

bin/cake Command

Here, we need to type this command to see routes as –

$ bin/cake routes

In the above screenshot we can see the list of available routes. This will give the idea about all routes including hidden routes which you don’t find inside routes.php file.
