It has been settled mostly that PATCH is the way to go for most situations. CFWheels resources set up both PUT and PATCH to address this confusion, but you should probably prefer linking up PATCH when you are able.[key] placeholder in the paths listed above in the Strongly Encouraged: Resource Routing section.)GET requests to modify resources in your database (i.e., creating, updating, or deleting records). Always require POST, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE verbs for those sorts of routing endpoints.to="controller##action" or use separate controller/action arguments. The toargument allows you to delineate controller and action within a single string using a # separator (which must be escaped as a double ## because of CFML's special usage of that symbol within string syntax).users resource using these methods like so (though obviously there is little practical reason for doing so):only or exceptarguments:GET or POST.PUT, PATCH, and DELETE) in this way:POST request with aPOST variable named _method specifying the specific HTTP verb (e.g., _method=delete)PATCH and DELETE.controllers folder of your application./admin/products, and the controller would be stored at controllers/admin/Products.cfc.package mapper method:/articles and /profile in the URL, but the controllers will be located at controllers/public/Articles.cfc and controllers/public/Profiles.cfc, respectively.customer and its children appointment records.config/routes.cfm:appointments resource contain a parameter named customerKey.

It also passed a parameter called key to the action, with a value of 5.[controller]/[action], however, because resources and the other routing methods are more appropriate for working with records identified by primary keys.wildcard generates:wildcard method by default will only generate routes for the GET request method. If you would like to enable other request methods on the wildcard, you can pass in the method or methods argument:method argument to wildcard with anything other than get gives you the potential to accidentally expose a route that could change data in your application with a GET request.

Once you're comfortable with routing concepts in CFWheels, we strongly recommend that you use resources (resources, resource) and the other verb-based helpers (get, post, patch, put, and delete) listed above instead.config/routes.cfm file./users/promoted, this will load the show action of the users controller because that was the first pattern that was matched by the CFWheels router./welcome-to-the-site and /terms-of-use handled by the same controller and action. Here's what you can do to achieve this.config/routes.cfm that catches all pages like this:/welcome-to-the-site, this route will be triggered and the show action will be called on the pages controller with params.title set to welcome-to-the-site.config/routes.cfm file looking something like this:products and sessions are your normal controllers. By adding them to the top of the routes file, CFWheels looks for them first. But your catch-all route is more specific than the site root (/), so your catch-all should be listed before the call to root().resources() or other individual route call, or can be added as a chained function in it's own right. Constraints allow you to add regex to a route matching pattern, so you could for instance, have /users/1/ and /users/bob/ go to different controller actions.key argument being made of digits only will apply to all the nested resourcesanything/you/want you gets set to the params.username including the /'s.
