adding where clause to router get

[quadrastreet]

I need to add this "where clause" to my route:

where("search",".*")

This is so that my search can contain forward slashes, such as:

/infoSearch/forward%20slash%20is%20/

My route call looks like this:

$app->get("/infoSearch/{search}","InfoController@infoSearch");

I'd like to change it to something like this:

$app->get("/infoSearch/{search}","InfoController@infoSearch")->where("search",".*");

But that doesn't work. I get:

Call to a member function where() on null

In Laravel, I think I'd be able to do this:

Route::get("/infoSearch/{search}","InfoController@infoSearch")->where("search",".*")

Most likely I'll just put the string that may contain a forward slash into a query parameter... Still, I'd like to know how to add a Where clause to the route specification.

Leaf router does not use where to handle regex, it has it's own system for handling operations like this. You can find the documentation here

Leaf has very extensive documentation that covers just about every feature leaf offers with links to external reads, I suggest you read through if you have any issue at all. The answer most likely lies there🥰

I've read through tit quite a bit, but as you noted... there's a lot of documentation.

You'll need to read the section I linked

So you will have this instead

$app->get("/infoSearch/(.*)","InfoController@infoSearch");
