# [WIP] Simple PHP router
Simple, fast PHP router that is easy to get integrated and in almost any project. Heavily inspired by the Laravel router.
## Installation
Add the latest version pf Simple PHP Router to your ```composer.json```
```json
{
"require": {
"pecee/simple-php-router": "1.*"
},
"require-dev": {
"pecee/simple-php-router": "1.*"
}
}
```
## Initialising the router
In your ```index.php``` require your ```routes.php``` and call the ```routeRequest()``` method when all your custom routes has been loaded. This will trigger and do the actual routing of the requests.
This is an example of a basic ```index.php``` file:
```php
use \Pecee\SimpleRouter;
require_once 'routes.php'; // change this to whatever makes sense in your project
// The apps default namespace (so we don't have to specify it each time we use MyController@home)
$defaultControllerNamespace = 'MyWebsite\\Controller';
// Do the routing
SimpleRouter::init($defaultControllerNamespace);
```
## Adding routes
Remember the ```routes.php``` file you required in your ```index.php```? This file will contain all your custom rules for routing.
This router is heavily inspired by the Laravel 5.* router, so anything you find in the Laravel documentation should work here as well.
### Basic example
```php
using \Pecee\SimpleRouter;
/*
* This route will match the url /v1/services/answers/1/
* The middleware is just a class that renders before the
* Controller or callback is loaded. This is useful for stopping
* the request, for instance if a user is not authenticated.
*/
SimpleRouter::group(['prefix' => 'v1', 'middleware' => '\MyWebsite\Middleware\SomeMiddlewareClass'], function() {
SimpleRouter::group(['prefix' => 'services'], function() {
SimpleRouter::get('/answers/{id}', 'ControllerAnswers@show');
});
});
```
### Doing it the object oriented (hardcore) way
The ```Router``` class is just a simple helper class that knows how to communicate with the ```SimpleRouter``` class. If you are up for a challenge, want the full control or simply just want to create your own ```Router``` helper class, this example is for you.
```php
use \Pecee\SimpleRouter;
use \Pecee\SimpleRouter\Router;
$router = Router::getInstance();
$route = new RouterRoute('/answer/1', function() {
die('this callback will match /answer/1');
});
$route->setMiddleware('\HSWebserviceV1\Middleware\AuthMiddleware');
$route->setNamespace('MyWebsite');
$route->setPrefix('v1');
// Add the route to the router
$router->addRoute($route);
```
## Documentation
While I work on a better documentation, please refer to the Laravel 5 routing documentation here:
http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/routing
## Easily extendable
The router can be easily extended to customize your needs.
