Improve your routes or add most common case to end of route table

Regular task is keep all routes to controller action is normall way, and all other links used as a link by name of user profile for example.

 So /controller1/action1 should redirect to action1 of controller1, and /username1 or /username2 should open profiles of users.

First of all i create component with function that return list of all controllers. Code is based on Felix blog post (thinkingphp.org)

<?php
class UtilsComponent extends Object
{

    var $controller; 

    function startup(&$controller) {
        $this->controller = &$controller;
    } 

    function listControllers() {
        $Configure =& Configure::getInstance();
        $controllers = array();
        foreach($Configure->controllerPaths as $path) {
            $controllers = am($controllers, array_map(array(&$this, ‘__controllerize’), listClasses($path)));
        }
        
        return array_unique($controllers);
    }
     
    function __controllerize($file) {
        return Inflector::camelize(r(‘_controller.php’, ”, $file));
    }     
     
         
    
}
?>

Next step is add list of default routes in /config/routes.php file before most common action. In router class /bare and /ajax routes marked as obsolete but i decide to keep it. This routes create by the router class but when we  create most common route it does not work.

    loadComponent(‘Utils’);
    $utils=& new UtilsComponent;
    foreach ($utils->listControllers() as $controllerName) {
        $controller=Inflector::underscore($controllerName);
        Router::connect(“/$controller”, array(‘controller’ => $controller,‘action’ => ‘index’));
        Router::connect(“/bare/$controller/:action/*”, array(‘controller’ => $controller,‘bare’ => ‘1′));
        Router::connect(“/ajax/$controller/:action/*”, array(‘controller’ => $controller,‘bare’ => ‘1′));
        Router::connect(“/$controller/:action/*”,array(‘controller’ => $controller));
    } 

     
And last step is declare common  route in  /config/routes.php file.

    Router::connect(“*”, array(‘controller’ => ‘users’, ‘action’ => ‘profile’));
