Creating a custom view/controller/route.

[thodr4]

Hello,
I am trying to make a custom duplicate check tool for my EspoCRM backend. I have followed the steps in the docs(https://docs.espocrm.com/development/api-action/):

• Created custom/Espo/Custom/Controllers/MyController.php with the example specified in the docs:

<?php

namespace Espo\Custom\Controllers;

class MyController extends \Espo\Core\Controllers\Base
{
    public function getActionDoSomething($params, $data, $request) {
        die("test");
    }

    public function postActionHelloWorld($params, $data, $request) {
        $name = $params['name']; // 'someName'
    }
}

• Created custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/routes.json with the example specified in the docs:

[
    {
        "route": "/Hello/test/:id",
        "method": "get",
        "params": {
            "controller": "MyController",
            "action": "doSomething",
            "id": ":id"
        }
    },
    {
        "route": "/HelloWorld/:name",
        "method": "post",
        "params": {
            "controller": "MyController",
            "action": "helloWorld",
            "name": ":name"
        }
    }
]

When i visit <crm_url>/#Hello/test/1 i get a 404. Im expecting to see 'test'. Did i overlook something in the docs? I just cant get it to work. Any clues?

Thanks,
Thomas

Hi,

Did you clear cache?

[thodr4]

Yes, and rebuild it too!

You created a backend API action. It is available by URL api/v1/Hello/test/1.

Frontend has another framework. See https://docs.espocrm.com/development...nd/controller/.

I'm trying to create a duplicate check too but no luck at the moment.
