Generate menu links for a view with contextual filter and parameters in the path

Question

I have a view with a contextual filter, and a few tabs corresponding to a taxonomy. In my module.links.menu.yml I have something like this:

mymodule.apple_view:
  title: 'List of apples'
  route_name: view.fruit_view.page_1
  route_parameters: { fruittype: 'apple' }
  menu_name: main

So I have my tab "List of apples", but the URL has the form http://localhost/it/fruit_view?fruittype=apple (which works), but I'd rather have it as http://localhost/it/fruit_view/apple (which also works). I suppose there may be a parameter for .link.menu.yml to achieve this, but I cannot find the full documentation. I checked the documentation and the source, but that didn't help. Any suggestion?

Answer 1

Never mind - solved it. In the view definition, I changed the path from /fruit_view to /fruit_view/%fruittype, and I got the URLs as I wanted them. I also had to remove the menu voice defined in the view, but that's not a problem, since I have to redefine the filtered ones anyway.
