Missing Feature, routes are empty when trying route_to in filters

[crustamet]

I do not know if this is a wanted behaviour or not

But having this Filter Config for example

	public array $globals = [
		'before' => [
			'honeypot' => ['except' => [route_to('some_alias')]],
			// 'csrf',
			// 'invalidchars',
		],
		'after' => [
			// 'honeypot',
			// 'secureheaders',
		],
	];

first it does not allow you to have it as a constant with dynamic strings

so i change the filter config with this addition instead of putting in the globals

	public function __construct()
	{
		$routes = Services::routes();
		
		echo route_to('some_alias'); 

		$this->globals['before']['honeypot']['except'] = [route_to('route_alias')];
	}

It does not work because routes are not loaded yet from the Codeigniter->Run() method because of this piece of code here https://github.com/codeigniter4/CodeIgniter4/blob/develop/system/CodeIgniter.php#L346

The handling of the request happens after the filters were loaded....

The filters are loaded first then the routes configuration file ... why is that ? I thought that routes were important without them nothing works, i know there is an AutoRouteImprove feature or what not. even though routes should be already loaded here no ?

I just want to access my routes that i have defined in the filters configuration file...

Is there a way to do this ?

i have moved the handling of the request before the filters are loaded and for sure now i can see my defined routes from my routes config file...

I'm sure that this is not the right approach..

CI4 has internal limitations. Especially in the configuration area, as classes are used. I think it's necessary to accept this.

See #9231 Your changes may cause errors and are dangerous. This is unlikely to be resolved in the near future.

yes i know i witnessed everything :) i tried but everything was getting worse and worse...

I actually filtered the routes inside the filter itself and use it like that and return nothing on that route.. to exclude it

	$router = Services::router();
	$routes = Services::routes();
	
	$exceptRoutes = [
		// 'homepage',
		'cookie',
		'test',
	];
	
	$namedRoutes = $router->getMatchedRouteOptions();
	
	if(isset($namedRoutes['as']) AND !empty($namedRoutes['as']))
	{
		if(in_array($namedRoutes['as'], $exceptRoutes))
		{
			return;
		}
	}
