Adding a base url path to slim router

Question

I have a bunch of routes and they all start with /api/2.01.

How can I add it once so it applies to all routes. Slim Framework Base URL asks the same question, but I believe provides an outdated answer.

PS. If instead of asking a new question, should I have instead somehow tagged the post which I believe is dated to be reviewed or something?

$app = new \Slim\Slim();
$app->post('/api/2.01/books', function () {
    //Create books
});
$app->get('/api/2.01/books', function () {
    //getbook
});
$app->get('/api/2.01/books/{id}', function () {
    //Get book
});
$app->delete('/api/2.01/books/{id}', function () {
    //Create book
});

I know you accepted an answer but I am curious are you going to be creating a group then for every minor update and patch (assuming that is what the 2.x.x is) rather then just making the update in a v2 group. Seems like this will grow unnecessarily large. — nerdlyist, Sep 23 '16 at 13:22

If you are using Slim v2.0, you can do somtehing like:

// API group
$app->group('/api', function () use ($app) {

// Library group
$app->group('/library', function () use ($app) {

    // Get book with ID
    $app->get('/books/:id', function ($id) {

    });

    // Update book with ID
    $app->put('/books/:id', function ($id) {

    });

    // Delete book with ID
    $app->delete('/books/:id', function ($id) {

    });

});

as specified in the docs: http://docs.slimframework.com/routing/groups/

Thanks Pipe. The documentation seems to be a little disjointed. I am using Slim v3.4. – user1032531 Sep 22 '16 at 22:58
Its similar... documentation for v3 can be found here http://www.slimframework.com/docs/objects/router.html#route-groups – Pipe Sep 22 '16 at 23:12
Thanks! I incorrectly assumed it would be set something like `$app = new \Slim\App(['base'=>'/api/library']);` – user1032531 Sep 23 '16 at 00:25
