How do I configure custom routes in Phalcon?

Question

I just stumbled at Phalcon (PHP framework) and it looked so promising I decided to try it.

I searched in the docs but haven't found anything related to routes in Phalcon. Does somebody know how to create custom routes in this framework or am I supposed to always follow conventions?

If you don't know Phalcon yet you might want to look at these slides to see what it's about.

Answer 1

They replied to the request and have just implemented the custom routes, it doesn't look that good right now but here is the reference:

$router->add("/admin/:controller/a/:action/:params", array(
    "controller" => 1,
    "action" => 2,
    "params" => 3,
));

Answer 2

I'm pretty sure you'll have to stick with the baseDir/class/method/argument/... convention.

I read the documentation and the source code, and I don't see any hint that would allow you to handle custom routes relying only on the C extension. One possible solution would be to map them in .htaccess.
