# blossom route:create

Send a path to a Service

## Usage

    blossom route:create [--data DATA]

## Flags

| Flag | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `--data, -d` | YAML or JSON data, a path to a data file, or an HTTP(S) URL |

Examples:

    blossom route:create --data '{"route":{"environment_id":"environment-100","service_id":"service-100","path":"/cable"}}'

Sends a path, and everything below it, to a public Service instead of `web`,
on every domain of the Environment. Rails ActionCable connects to `/cable` on
the page's own host, so a separate `cable` process gets this route.

Each path belongs to one Service: a second route for the same path is
refused. Paths have no wildcards; `/cable` also covers `/cable/anything`. The
route applies at once, without a deploy. `blossom app_plan:init` adds
`/cable` for a Procfile `cable` process.

To send a whole host to a Service instead, such as `api.example.com`, set
`service_id` on its domain with `blossom domain:create`.
