 | paths        | Required  | List of request paths to match the route. By default does a full match. Adding `*` at the end will result in prefix match. For example, `/foo*` can match requests with paths `/foo/bar` and `/foo/car/far`. | {"/", "/foo", "/bar/\*"}                             |
 | hosts        | Optional  | List of host addresses to match the route. Supports wildcards. For example `*.bar.com` can match `foo.bar.com` and `car.bar.com`.                                                                            | {"foo.com", "\*.bar.com"}                            |
 | remote_addrs | Optional  | List of remote addresses (IPv4 or IPv6) to match the route. Supports CIDR format.                                                                                                                            | {"127.0.0.1", "192.0.0.0/8", "::1", "fe80::/32"}     |
-| methods      | Optional  | List of HTTP methods to match the route. Valid values: "GET", "POST", "PUT", "DELETE", "PATCH", "HEAD", "OPTIONS", "CONNECT" and "TRACE".                                                                    | {"GET", "POST"}                                      |

 | vars         | Optional  | DSL to evaluate with the provided `opts.vars` or `ngx.var`. See: [lua-resty-expr](https://github.com/api7/lua-resty-expr#new).                                                                               | {{"arg_name", "==", "json"}, {"arg_age", ">", 18}}   |
 | filter_fun   | Optional  | User defined filter function to match the route. Can be used for custom matching scenarios. `vars` and `opts` will be passed to the function when matching a route.                                          | function(vars) return vars["arg_name"] == "json" end |
 | priority     | Optional  | Route priority. Defaults to 0.                                                                                                                                                                               | priority = 100                                       |
