# 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.*"
}
}
```
## Notes
### Features currently "in-the-works"
- Global Constraints
- Named Routes
- Sub-Domain Routing
- CSRF Protection
- Optional/required parameters
### Known issues
- Posting invalid/unsupported request-type throws 404 instead of "method not allowed" exception, unless defined within a group.
## 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
use Pecee\SimpleRouter\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')
->where(['id' => '[0-9]+');
/**
* This example will route url when matching the regular expression to the method.
* For example route: /ajax/music/world -> ControllerAjax@process (parameter: music/world)
*/
SimpleRouter::all('/ajax', 'ControllerAjax@process')->match('ajax\\/([A-Za-z0-9\\/]+)');
// Resetful resource
SimpleRouter::resource('/rest', 'ControllerRessource');
// Load the entire controller (where url matches method names - getIndex(), postIndex() etc)
SimpleRouter::controller('/controller', 'ControllerDefault');
// Example of providing callback instead of Controller
SimpleRouter::get('/something', function() {
die('Callback example');
});
});
});
```
### Doing it the object oriented (hardcore) way
The ```SimpleRouter``` class referenced in the previous example, is just a simple helper class that knows how to communicate with the ```RouterBase``` 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\RouterBase;
use \Pecee\SimpleRouter\RouterRoute;
$router = RouterBase::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);
```
This is a simple example of an integration into a framework.
The framework has it's own ```Router``` class which inherits from the ```SimpleRouter``` class. This allows the framework to add custom functionality.
```php
namespace MyProject;
use Pecee\Handler\ExceptionHandler;
use Pecee\SimpleRouter\SimpleRouter;
class Router extends SimpleRouter {
protected static $exceptionHandlers = array();
public static function start() {
Debug::getInstance()->add('Router initialised.');
// Load routes.php
$file = $_ENV['basePath'] . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'lib' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'routes.php';
if(file_exists($file)) {
require_once $file;
}
// Init locale settings
Locale::getInstance();
// Set default namespace
$defaultNamespace = '\\'.Registry::getInstance()->get('AppName') . '\\Controller';
// Handle exceptions
try {
parent::start($defaultNamespace);
} catch(\Exception $e) {
/* @var $handler ExceptionHandler */
foreach(self::$exceptionHandlers as $handler) {
$class = new $handler();
$class->handleError($e);
}
throw $e;
}
}
public static function addExceptionHandler($handler) {
self::$exceptionHandlers[] = $handler;
}
}
```
This is a basic example of a helper function for generating urls.
```php
use Pecee\SimpleRouter\RouterBase;
function url($controller, $parameters = null, $getParams = null) {
RouterBase::getInstance()->getRoute($controller, $parameters, $getParams);
}
```
In ```routes.php``` we have added this route:
```SimpleRouter::get('/item/{id}', 'myController@show');```
In the template we then call:
```url('myController@show', ['id' => 22], ['category' => 'shoes']);```
Result url is:
```/item/22?category=shoes ```
## 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.
