CakePHP 3 routing dynamic url - url

Question

I have an eCommerce website and need to create some custom URLs. These URLs will be generated dynamically. The structure will be
Example URL: http://website.com/categoryname/product-title
Here the category name is dynamic. It will change for each product, it can be
website.com/buttons/CP1 or
website.com/ribbons/red so on
In any case these URLs should be redirected to http://website.com/products/productdetail/product-title
I tried the following script:
$routes->connect(
'/:type/:slug/*',
['controller' => 'Products','action' => 'productDetail'],
['type' => '\b(?:(?!admin)\w)+\b'],
[
'slug' => '[A-Za-z-]+',
'pass' => [
'slug'
]
]
);
['type' => '\b(?:(?!admin)\w)+\b'] is to exclude the other controllers. In this case 'Admin'. This works but the parameters passed through the URL (product-title) is not getting in the controller function(productDetail)
Any help will be appreciated.
It is fixed. Updated script below.
$routes->connect(
'/:type/:slug/*',
['controller' => 'Products','action' => 'productDetail'],
[
'type' => '\b(?:(?!admin)\w)+\b',
'pass' => ['slug']
]);

According to the API the connect() function only accepts 3 parameters and you are actually passing 4. See Cake Routing Router - Connect
I have not tested this at all, but I think you should re-write it like this:
$routes->connect(
'/:type/:slug/*',
['controller' => 'Products','action' => 'productDetail'],
[
'type' => '\b(?:(?!admin)\w)+\b',
'slug' => '[A-Za-z-]+',
'pass' => ['slug']
]
);
