I have a custom module in which I am setting a front end route that routes through to a controller. Like so:

 Event::on(
    UrlManager::class,
    UrlManager::EVENT_REGISTER_SITE_URL_RULES,
    function (RegisterUrlRulesEvent $event) {
        $event->rules['my-account/orders/<order>/pause'] = 'custom-module-name/order/pause-order';
    }
);

This works fine but how can I access that <order> named parameter within my controller? Is the only way to use craft::$app->request->getSegment(3);?

  • If this is possible to you, you could instead use an endpoint like my-account/orders/<order>?action=pause and access the pause via $param = Craft::$app->getRequest()->getParam('action'); Might be an easier solution. Commented Oct 1, 2019 at 12:08
  • I could do that, yes. Was more curious as to if it were possible. I would prefer to keep the "nice" url without parameters.

Hat tip to Andrew Welch for the answer.

With the route my-account/orders/<order>/pause it's possible to simply add the parameter to my controller method definition and it gets populated from the named parameter in the route.

  public function actionPauseOrder($order = null)
    {

       // do stuff
    }

The value of the named parameter order can then be accessed in the function as one would expect.

Super simple!
