Routing - flexible and fast route for PHP, Enables you to build RESTful web applications quickly and easily.

Routing v1.0.0

Routing - flexible and fast route for PHP, Enables you to build RESTful web applications quickly and easily., _(*1)

Installation

You can download it and using it without any changes., _(*2)

OR use Composer., _(*3)

It's recommended that you use Composer to install Route., _(*4)

$ composer require win-design/routing

Route requires PHP 5.4.0 or newer., _(*5)

Usage

Only if using composer create index.php in root., _(*6)

Create an index.php file with the following contents:, _(*7)

<?php
define('DS', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, true);
define('BASE_PATH', __DIR__ . DS, TRUE);

require BASE_PATH.'vendor/autoload.php';

$app            = System\App::instance();
$app->request   = System\Request::instance();
$app->route     = System\Route::instance($app->request);

$route          = $app->route;

$route->any('/', function() {
    echo 'Hello World';
});

$route->end();

If using apache make sure the .htaccess file has exists beside index.php, _(*8)

How it works

Routing is done by matching a URL pattern with a callback function., _(*9)

index.php

$route->any('/', function() {
    echo 'Hello World';
});

$route->any('/about', function() {
    echo 'About';
});

The callback can be any object that is callable. So you can use a regular function:

function pages() {
    echo 'Page Content';
}
$route->get('/', 'pages');

Or a class method:

class home
{
    function pages() {
        echo 'Home page Content';
    }
}
$route->get('/', ['home', 'pages']);
// OR
$home = new home;
$route->get('/', [$home, 'pages']);
// OR
$route->get('/', 'home@pages');

Method Routing

$route->any('/', function() {
    // Any method requests
});

$route->get('/', function() {
    // Only GET requests
});

$route->post('/', function() {
    // Only POST requests
});

$route->put('/', function() {
    // Only PUT requests
});

$route->patch('/', function() {
    // Only PATCH requests
});

$route->delete('/', function() {
    // Only DELETE requests
});

// You can use multiple methods. Just add _ between method names
$route->get_post('/', function() {
    // Only GET and POST requests
});

Multiple Routing (All in one)

$route->get(['/', 'index', 'home'], function() {
    // Will match 3 page in one
});

Parameters

// This example will match any page name
$route->get('/?', function($page) {
    echo "you are in $page";
});

// This example will match anything after post/ - limited to 1 argument
$route->get('/post/?', function($id) {
    // Will match anything like post/hello or post/5 ...
    // But not match /post/5/title
    echo "post id $id";
});

// more than parameters
$route->get('/post/?/?', function($id, $title) {
    echo "post id $id and title $title";
});

For “unlimited” optional parameters, you can do this:

// This example will match anything after blog/ - unlimited arguments
$route->get('/blog/*', function() {
    // [$this] instanceof ArrayObject so you can get all args by getArrayCopy()
    pre($this->getArrayCopy());
    pre($this[1]);
    pre($this[2]);
});

Named Parameters

You can specify named parameters in your routes which will be passed along to your callback function., _(*10)

$route->get('/{username}/{page}', function($username, $page) {
    echo "Username $username and Page $page <br>";
    // OR
    echo "Username {$this['username']} and Page {$this['page']}";
});

Regular Expressions

You can validate the args by regular expressions., _(*11)

// Validate args by regular expressions uses :(your pattern here)
$route->get('/{username}:([0-9a-z_.-]+)/post/{id}:([0-9]+)',
function($username, $id)
{
    echo "author $username post id $id";
});

// You can add named regex pattern in routes
$route->addPattern([
    'username' => '/([0-9a-z_.-]+)',
    'id' => '/([0-9]+)'
]);

// Now you can use named regex
$route->get('/{username}:username/post/{id}:id', function($username, $id) {
    echo "author $username post id $id";
});

Some named regex patterns already registered in routes

[
    'int'               => '/([0-9]+)',
    'multiInt'          => '/([0-9,]+)',
    'title'             => '/([a-z_-]+)',
    'key'               => '/([a-z0-9_]+)',
    'multiKey'          => '/([a-z0-9_,]+)',
    'isoCode2'          => '/([a-z]{2})',
    'isoCode3'          => '/([a-z]{3})',
    'multiIsoCode2'     => '/([a-z,]{2,})',
    'multiIsoCode3'     => '/([a-z,]{3,})'
]

Optional parameters

You can specify named parameters that are optional for matching by adding (?), _(*12)

$route->get('/post/{title}?:title/{date}?',
function($title, $date) {
    if ($title) {
        echo "

$title

";
    }else{
        echo "

Posts List

";
    }

    if ($date) {
        echo "<small>Published $date</small>";
    }
});

Groups

$route->group('/admin', function()
{
    // /admin/
    $this->get('/', function() {
        echo 'welcome to admin panel';
    });

    // /admin/settings
    $this->get('/settings', function() {
        echo 'list of settings';
    });

    // nested group
    $this->group('/users', function()
    {
        // /admin/users
        $this->get('/', function() {
            echo 'list of users';
        });

        // /admin/users/add
        $this->get('/add', function() {
            echo 'add new user';
        });
    });

    // Anything else
    $this->any('/*', function() {
        pre("Page ( {$this->app->request->path} ) Not Found", 6);
    });
});

Groups with parameters

$route->group('/{lang}?:isoCode2', function($lang)
{
    $default = $lang;

    if (!in_array($lang, ['ar', 'en'])) {
        $default = 'en';
    }

    $this->get('/', function($lang) use($default) {
        echo "lang in request is $lang<br>";
        echo "include page_{$default}.php";
    });

    $this->get('/page/{name}/', function($lang, $name)
    {
        pre(func_get_args());
        pre($this->app->request->args);
    });
});
