group()

Signature

group() — returns struct

Available in: mapper Category: Routing

Description

Group routes together with shared attributes like path prefix, name prefix, and constraints without implying a controller package or namespace. Unlike namespace() (which maps to a subfolder and URL prefix) or package() (which maps to a subfolder), group() is a pure organizational grouping mechanism.
