Routing for MVC-ish PHP projects.
composer require sidvind/php-routes
Put routes in a separate file, e.g. routes.php:
<?php
/* basic routes */
$get('foo', ['to' => 'MyController#foo']);
$post('bar/:id/baz', ['to' => 'MyController#update']); /* use :var for variables */
/* automatically setup RESTful routes */
$resource('article', [], function($r){
$r->members(function($r){
$r->patch('frobnicate'); /* maps to PATCH /article/:id/frobnicate */
});
$r->collection(function($r){
$r->patch('twiddle'); /* maps to PATCH /article/twiddle */
});
});
/* scoping */
$scope(':lang', [], function($r){
$r->get('barney'); /* maps to GET /:lang/barney */
});Create a dispatcher:
<?php
class Dispatcher extends Sidvind\PHPRoutes\Router {
public function dispatch($url, $method){
if ( $match = $this->match($url, $method) ){
$class = "{$match->controller}Controller";
$controller = new $class();
return call_user_func_array([$controller, $match->action], $match->args);
} else {
/* 404 */
}
}
}
$router = new Dispatcher('routes.php');
$router->dispatch($url, $method);To preview/debug routes use bin/php-routes:
# bin/php-routes routes.php
GET /foo MyController#foo #^/foo(?P<format>\.\w+)?$#
POST /bar/:id/baz MyController#update #^/bar/(?P<id>[A-Za-z0-9\-_\.]+)/baz(?P<format>\.\w+)?$#
article GET /article Article#list #^/article(?P<format>\.\w+)?$#
...
# bin/php-routes routes.php get /foo
Controller: MyController
Action: foo
Format:
Arguments:
[]
# bin/php-routes routes.php get /bar
bin/php-routes: url doesn't match any route.
