# Routing
See the [routing's concept](../concepts/concepts.md#routing) for details.
## How to create a route?
You have to edit the `routes.json` file in one of your APIs folders (`./api/**/config/routes.json`) and manually add a new route object into the `routes` array.
**Path —** `./api/**/config/routes.json`.
```json
{
"routes": [
{
"method": "GET",
"path": "/product",
"handler": "Product.find",
},
{
"method": ["POST", "PUT"],
"path": "/product/:id",
"handler": "Product.createOrUpdate",
},
{
"method": "POST",
"path": "/product/:id/buy",
"handler": "Product.buy",
"config": {
"policies": ["isAuthenticated", "hasCreditCard"]
}
}
]
}
```
- `method` (string): Method or array of methods to hit the route (ex: `GET`, `POST`, `PUT`, `HEAD`, `DELETE`, `PATCH`)
- `path` (string): URL starting with `/` (ex: `/product`)
- `handler` (string): Action to executed when the route is hit following this syntax `<Controller>.<action>`
- `config`
- `policies` (array): Array of policies names or path ([see more](../guides/policies.md))
- `prefix` (string): Set a prefix to this route. Also, it will be loaded into the main router (useful feature for plugin)
## Dynamic parameters
The router used by Strapi allows you to create dynamic routes where you can use parameters and simple regular expressions. These parameters will be exposed in the `ctx.params` object. For more details, please refer to the [PathToRegex](https://github.com/pillarjs/path-to-regexp) documentation.
```json
{
"routes": [
{
"method": "GET",
"path": "/product/:category/:id",
"handler": "Product.findOneByCategory",
},
{
"method": "GET",
"path": "/product/:region(\\d{2}|\\d{3})/:id", // Only match when the first parameter contains 2 or 3 digits.
"handler": "Product.findOneByRegion",
}
]
}
```
## Override default route
By default, the main route of the server `/` is pointed to the `/public/index.html` file. To override this behavior, you need to create a route with an empty path `/` in one of your API folder (`/api/**/config/routes.json`).
```json
{
"routes": [
{
"method": "GET",
"path": "/",
"handler": "Controller.name",
}
]
}
```
