cfml

i went with documentation before i asked and that is still not clear

i do not get why cf community is so reluctant to answer if someone knows how they can do

The answer is right there in that document, what is not clear?

```route( 
    pattern = "/users/list", 
    target = "users.index", 
    name = "usermanager" 
);```

the "pattern" is what your url would have aka `/api/getusersinfo/:id`

the "target" is the function with your cfc aka `api.getuserinfo`

No one is reluctant, you are just misunderstanding the advice.

Something is quite wrong, This is what i did
```route(
            pattern="/api/getusersinfo/:id",
            target="Api.getusersinfo"
        );```
my function is like this in Api.cfc

```function getusersinfo(event, rc, prc, id) {
73:         local.x= service.data(id);
74:         return local.x;
75:     }```


i get an error variable [ID] doesn't exist

you need to reference it from the scope it resides in; thus needs to be `rc.id`

all url, form data is put into the RC scope; I think you need to take the 60 minute crash course on how the framework works: <https://coldbox.ortusbooks.com/for-newbies/60-minute-quick-start>
