Therefore, constraint values should match the corresponding Request object method return type. For example: `constraints: { subdomain: 'api' }` will match an `api` subdomain as expected, however using a symbol `constraints: { subdomain: :api }` will not, because `request.subdomain` returns `'api'` as a String. +NOTE: There is an exception for the `format` constraint: while it's a method on the Request object, it's also an implicit optional parameter on every path. Segment constraints take precedence and the `format` constraint is only applied as such when enforced through a hash. For example, `get 'foo', constraints: { format: 'json' }` will match `GET /foo` because the format is optional by default. However, you can [use a lambda](#advanced-constraints) like in `get 'foo', constraints: lambda { |req| req.format == :json }` and the route will only match explicit JSON requests. + ### Advanced Constraints If you have a more advanced constraint, you can provide an object that responds to `matches?` that Rails should use.
