This module fixes that by providing the ability to use `-`, `.`, `~`, `_` within a URL. Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require markshust/magento2-module-specialrouter bin/magento module:enable MarkShust_SpecialRouter bin/magento setup:upgrade ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) This module is really simple to use. All you need to do is use the appropriate "name" that matches the symbol you'd like to use in the URL. - Symbol: `-`, Name: `Dash` - Symbol: `.`, Name: `Period` - Symbol: `~`, Name: `Tilda` - Symbol: `_`, Name: `Underscore` For example, to respond to a request with a `frontName` of `foo` at the following location: ``` /foo/alpha-beta/charlie-delta ``` Use a PHP class named: ``` Controller/AlphaDashBeta/CharlieDashDelta.php ``` The `-` in the URL will be translated to `dash` in the actionPath and actionName, so if we create files using `Dash` in the controller and action name, they will respond to these requests.
