RouteInheritance
================

[](#routeinheritance)

Allows ZF2 routes to extend other routes, overriding options.

Why?
----

[](#why)

```
I had some large and complicated routes set up for a project and needed to
"duplicate" the routes with alterations without having to copy, paste, and
modify the whole route array.

```

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

- Use composer as described here:
- Add `RouteInheritance` to your `config/application.config.php`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
'router' => [
    'routes' => [
        'my-original-route' => [
            'type' => 'literal',
            'options' => [
                'route'    => '/orig-url',
                'defaults' => [
                    'controller' => 'Application\Controller\IndexController',
                    'action'     => 'index',
                ],
            ],
        ],
    ],
    // "Copies" my-original-route to my-new-route and overrides/adds various things.
    // This currently uses a merge, so removing config keys is not supported.
    'inheritance' => [
        'my-new-route' => [
            'extends' => 'my-original-route',
            'configuration' => [
                'type' => 'segment',
                'options' => [
                    'route'    => '/new-url/:segment',
                    'constraints' => [
                        'segment' => '[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+',
                    ],
                    'defaults' => [
                        'controller' => 'Application\Controller\IndexController',
                        'action'     => 'new',
                    ],
                ],
