ulfius_add_endpoint_by_val() url_prefix VS. url_format about ulfius HOT 2 CLOSED

The difference between the parameters url_prefix and url_format is that the url_format accepts variables, when the url_prefix doesn't.

I added the url_prefix value to make the endpoints configuration more readable if you intend to use large urls, but always with the same prefix, such as:

• /myApp/api/v1/users/login
• /myApp/api/v1/users/info
• /myApp/api/v1/users/[userID]/info
• /myApp/api/v1/registration/[uuid]
• etc.

in that case, using the url_prefix value myApp/api/v1 makes sense, so your url_format values can focus on what's important.

In your case, it's up to you whether you prefer using different url_prefix values depending on their goal (/users, /registration, /password) or not.

There is no better solution, and both solutions (with or without url_prefix) are equivalent.

Cheers @babelouest for the explanation. Should be crystal clear by now.
