Yii2 routes definition in modules

Question

Is there any solution to add routes from module configuration?

Example. We have main config where we describe

\'components\' => [
    \'urlManage         


        

Answer 1

So I did this way (this is full answer for a question).

Create Bootstrap class special for module.

namespace app\extensions;

use yii\base\BootstrapInterface;

/**
 * Class ModuleBootstrap
 *
 * @package app\extensions
 */
class ModuleBootstrap implements BootstrapInterface
{
    /**
     * @param \yii\base\Application $oApplication
     */
    public function bootstrap($oApplication)
    {
        $aModuleList = $oApplication->getModules();

        foreach ($aModuleList as $sKey => $aModule) {
            if (is_array($aModule) && strpos($aModule['class'], 'app\modules') === 0) {
                $sFilePathConfig = FILE_PATH_ROOT . DS . 'modules' . DS . $sKey . DS . 'config' . DS . '_routes.php';

                if (file_exists($sFilePathConfig)) {
                    $oApplication->getUrlManager()->addRules(require($sFilePathConfig));
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Create route file in module folder (/modules/XXX/config/_routes.php)

return [
    '/sales'                            => '/sales/index/index',
    '/sales/company'                    => '/sales/company/index',
    '/sales/company/view/'     => '/sales/company/view',
    '/sales/company/update/'   => '/sales/company/update',
    '/sales/company/delete/'   => '/sales/company/delete',
];

Add boostrap to main config file

$aConfig = [
    // some code
    'bootstrap' => [
        // some code
        'app\extensions\ModuleBootstrap',
    ],
    'modules' => [
        // some code
        'sales' => ['class' => 'app\modules\sales\SalesModule']
    ]
]

return $aConfig;

That's it. We can define routes only in module 'route' config.

PS: I don't like detection if (is_array($aModule) && strpos($aModule['class'], 'app\modules') === 0) (I mean NOT 'debug', 'log', 'gii' or other native Yii2 modules) maybe someone can suggest better solution?
