Magento 2 Router Wizardry

You've probably needed a custom router before, a client wanting URLs that don't map to a standard controller path, and reached for a rewrite rule instead because the router system felt like a black box.

That's because routing runs on a priority chain of router classes, each one deciding whether it can match a request before the next one gets a turn, and dynamic data loading depends on getting that order right. One misplaced priority and your route never fires, silently.

This course builds one custom router from match to controller.

Router priority first, then the match method, then dynamic parameters, then a working front-name-free URL. Each lesson ends with a route you can load in the browser.

This is specialized topics, step 2. Magento 2 Design Patterns: Proxies is next, because proxy classes are how Magento controls when your router's own dependencies load. It is also included in the University.

You leave with a custom router you built and a reason for every line of its match logic.
