Custom route with optional tokens

Question

I have a question about custom routes set in routes.php. Can route segment be optional?

Taking example from docs - 'blog/archive/<year:\d{4}>' => 'controller/action/path', can we make year token optional in url and still match route when someone vists blog/archive?

Answer 1

Short and sweet... I think you just need to add a second route.

'blog/archive' => 'controller/action/path',
'blog/archive/<year:\d{4}>' => 'controller/action/path'
