What is the difference between $routes->get and $routes->add in codeigniter 4?

Question

$routes->get('login', 'C_auth::display_login');
$routes->add('login', 'C_auth::display_login');

What is the difference between get and add? I test them both and it seems like they do the same thing

Answer 1

First off i would like to thank @sauhardnc to set me on the right direction.

Yes, what @sauhardnc is correct, i tried routing a form with a post method to a route with get method and it gives an error. So if you have a form with a post method, use the post method in your route. Add would also work, but i think the method from your form and your route should be the same.

This would be your route

$routes->post('register-user','C_auth::authenticate_registration');

or

$routes->add('register-user','C_auth::authenticate_registration');

This would be your form

<form action = '<?php echo route_to('register-user') ?>' method="post" accept-charset="utf-8">
