javascript - Triggering different actions on same route based on request type in Zend Framework 2 -

i trying make zf2 respond in rest way different request type.

in module.config.php have router config.

'router' => array(     'routes' => array(         'student' => array(             'type'    => 'segment',             'options' => array(                  'route'    => '/student[/:action][/:id]',                 'constraints' => array(                     'action' => '[a-za-z][a-za-z0-9_-]*',                     'id'     => '[0-9]+',                 ),                  'defaults' => array(                     'controller' => 'student\controller\student',                     'action'     => 'index',                 ),             ),         ),     ), ), 

on frontend using backbone send get, post, delete requests server based on user interactions. when user trigger action delete student id of n, backbone send /somepath/student/n using delete request. when user trigger action student id of n, backbone send /somepath/student/n using request.

if want current setup work have change backbone request , change url student/n student/delete/n if want delete student id , get.

this did on client side avoid.

define(['backbone'], function(backbone){     return backbone.model.extend({         defaults:{             //set default model values         },         initialize: function(){             //initialize         },         methodtourl: {             'delete': '/student/delete'         },         sync: function(method, model, options) {             options = options || {};             var id = arguments[1]['id']             options.url = model.methodtourl[method.tolowercase()] + '/' + id;             return backbone.sync.apply(this, arguments);         }     }); }); 

in controller on server side have different action methods run different request types.

public function deleteaction() {         //some code } public function getaction() {         //some code } 

i don't want change default backbone behaviour (intercepting , altering requests).

is there way configure zf2 router use same route trigger different actions based on request method type?

you can use method route child route of segment route. http://framework.zend.com/manual/2.3/en/modules/zend.mvc.routing.html

there example named a complex example child routes author blog literal route create child routes each of different type.

simply can create child routes in student route type method each method want use , change action method types.
