ParamsReturnRelatedSource
Connects a new route and returns the current routes array. This method creates a new `Route` object and registers it with the `Router`. The order in which routes are connected matters, since the order of precedence is taken into account in parsing and matching operations.

Parameters

  • string $template An empty string, or a route string "/"
  • array $params An array describing the default or required elements of the route
  • array $options

Returns

array Array of routes
