Set custom routes
You can configure REST endpoints in your module to use custom routes (aliases) for URLs instead of the default URLs. For example, you can define the alias createWidget to represent POST V1/widgets. However, you cannot create an alias for a route that contains one or more variables, such as PUT V1/widgets/:widgetId.
To define custom routes, create an etc/webapi_async.xml file in your module that contains the following structure:
1
2
3
4
5
<services xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_WebapiAsync:etc/webapi_async.xsd">
<route url="V1/widgets" method="POST" alias="createWidget" />
<route url="async/bulk/V1/widget" method="PUT" alias="asyncBulkUpdateWidgets"/>
.........
</services>
This example redefines two routes:
- All requests made on endpoint
POST /createWidgetwill be forwarded toPOST V1/widgets - All requests made on endpoint
PUT /asyncBulkUpdateWidgetswill be forwarded toPUT async/bulk/V1/widget
The following table defines the route node attributes:
| Attribute name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
url |
Yes | An existing REST endpoint. The route can be defined in the module’s webapi.xml file, or derived, such as those for asynchronous and bulk endpoints. |
method |
Yes | The HTTP request method. One of GET, PUT, POST or DELETE. |
alias |
Yes | A string that defines the custom route for the route defined in url. |
