ActionRoutes

API reference › Debug › models › router › ActionRoutes

Discovers every controller action reachable from the running application and pairs it with its matching URL rule.

Walks the module tree starting from Yii::$app, reflects each controller to enumerate its action methods, and resolves the first creation-time URL rule that matches the resulting route.
