Max URL Levels in Controller Magento 2












3















I have custom controller outputting JSON format which works well for the below URL level;



** Works
base url/module/folder/action
//equates to VendorModuleControllerFolderIndex.php


However I would like some somewhat deeper nested URL endpoints as per below but I get 404 on controllers deeper that one folder;



**Hit with 404
base url/module/folder/anotherfolder/action
//equates to VendorModuleControllerFolderAnotherfolderIndex.php

/* or even deeper */

**Hit with 404 - not tested
base url/module/folder/anotherfolder/deeperfolder/action
//equates to VendorModuleControllerFolderAnotherfolderDeeperfolderIndex.php


I'm guessing Magento2 doesn't allow deep nested URL types or controllers ...



For me, this deeper nesting would be ideal to have a more manageable controller development & access since we have lost the ability to have multiple actions/endpoints in the one controller (Magento 1.*) (advise if not the case)

          As per as magento URL format is




          URL/frontenName/ACtionFolder/Action




          Frontendname is defined at routes.xml



          ACtionFolder locates at Controller folder which can multiple folders path but path will connect via (_) Undescore

          • ideally I would prefer URL without underscores (underscores changed to forward slashes) but this would need additional rewrites programmatically (and not manually created via admin panel etc)
