Sexy PHP router.

Macaw

Macaw is a simple, open source PHP router. It's super small (~150 LOC), fast, and sexy. This class allows you to jus throw it into your project and start using it immediately., _(*1)

Install

If you have Composer, just include Macaw as a project dependency in your composer.json. If you don't just install it by downloading the .ZIP file and extracting it to your project directory., _(*2)

require: {
    "noahbuscher/macaw": "dev-master"
}

Examples

First, use the Macaw namespace:, _(*3)

use \NoahBuscher\Macaw\Macaw;

Macaw is not an object, so you can just make direct operations to the class. Here's the Hello World:, _(*4)

Macaw::get('/', function() {
  echo 'Hello world!';
});

Macaw::dispatch();

Macaw also supports lambda URIs, such as:, _(*5)

Macaw::get('/(:any)', function($slug) {
  echo 'The slug is: ' . $slug;
});

Macaw::dispatch();

You can also make requests for HTTP methods in Macaw, so you could also do:, _(*6)

Macaw::get('/', function() {
  echo 'I <3 GET commands!';
});

Macaw::post('/', function() {
  echo 'I <3 POST commands!';
});

Macaw::dispatch();

Other way,such as:, _(*7)

Macaw::get('/Home/index','home@index');

Macaw::get('/Home/index','home@index','Namespace');

Lastly, if there is no route defined for a certain location, you can make Macaw run a custom callback, like:, _(*8)

Macaw::error(function() {
  echo '404 :: Not Found';
});

If you don't specify an error callback, Macaw will just echo 404., _(*9)

In order to let the server know the URI does not point to a real file, you need to use the included .htaccess file., _(*11)
