Used to get or set an array of named formatter closures, which are used to format route parameters when generating URLs. For example, for controller/action parameters to be dashed instead of underscored or camelBacked, you could do the following:
{{{ use lithium\util\Inflector; Router::formatters(array( 'controller' => function($value) { return Inflector::slug($value); }, 'action' => function($value) { return Inflector::slug($value); } )); }}} _Note_: Because formatters are copied to `Route` objects on an individual basis, make sure you append custom formatters _before_ connecting new routes.

Parameters

  • array $formatters An array of named formatter closures to append to (or overwrite) the existing list.

Returns

array Returns the formatters array.
