**Kind:** Function

Get matched routes in the handler

`matchedRoutes` gets the routes that match a handler. Use it when route-aware code needs to inspect the handler’s current route matches before performing follow-up work.

## Signature

```ts
function matchedRoutes(c: Context): RouterRoute[]
```

## Parameters

| Name | Type |
|---|---|
| `c` | `Context` |

**Returns:** `RouterRoute[]`

## Usage

```ts
import { matchedRoutes } from './helper/route'

const routes = matchedRoutes(handler)

for (const route of routes) {
  console.log(route)
}
```

## AI Coding Instructions

- Pass the handler instance associated with the current request or execution context.
- Treat the returned routes as inspection data for route-aware behavior.
- Keep route matching logic centralized through `matchedRoutes` rather than duplicating handler traversal.
- Check the route shape before reading route-specific properties in downstream code.
