# Module Routes Files

A module can also include one or more custom routing files in order to take advantage of our routing DSL and also have better separation as they will be stored outside of the module configuration object. You do this by giving the path to the custom file to include in your routes structure:

```javascript
routes = [
  "config/routes"
];
```

This will look for a `routes.cfm` template in your module's `config` folder and load it. Please note that you do not need to specify a `.cfm` if you don't want to. You can load as many route files as you like.

## ColdBox 5 Router

If you want to use the ColdBox 5 `Router.cfc` inside your module you can simply place the `Router.cfc` inside the `config` folder and it will load by convention.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://coldbox.ortusbooks.com/the-basics/modules/url-routing/module-routes-files.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
