Is it possible to use dynamic controller name in routing in CodeIgniter 4?

I want to use route localization like said here https://codeigniter.com/user_guide/outgoing/localization.html#in-routes

So I need to add route rule like: $routes->get('{locale}/books', 'App\Books::index');

But I want to make this rule for all controllers - not to specify rules for all controllers. So I added the rule: $routes->add('{locale}/(:segment)(:any)', '$1::$2');

I have controller Login with method index(). When I go to mydomain.com/Login method index() is loaded successfull. But when I go to mydomain.com/en/Login (as I expect to use my route) I got 404 Error with message - "Controller or its method is not found: \App\Controllers$1::index". But locale is defined and set correctly.

If I change my route to $routes->add('{locale}/(:segment)(:any)', 'Login::$2'); then mydomain.com/en/Login is loaded successfull as I want. But in this way I have to set routes for every controller and I want to set one route to work with all controllers.

Is it possible to set route with setting of dynamic controller name?

I'm not sure it is possible directly, but here is a workaround:

$routes->add('{locale}/(:segment)/(:any)', 'Rerouter::reroute/$1/$2');

Then, your Rerouter classlooks like this:


<?php namespace App\Controllers;

class Rerouter extends BaseController
{
    public function reroute($controllerName, ...$data)
    {
        $className = str_replace('-', '', ucwords($controllerName)); // This changes 'some-controller' into 'SomeController'.
        
        $controller = new $className();
        if (0 == count($data))
        {
            return $controller->index(); // replace with your default method
        }

        $method = array_shift($data);

        return $controller->{$method}(...$data);
    }
}

For example, /en/user/show/john-doe will call the controller User::show('john-doe').
