Virag Router

ViragRouter is a lightweight PHP router package that allows you to easily define and handle routes in your PHP applications.

With ViragRouter, you're equipped with a robust suite of capabilities essential for efficient route handling: seamless route definition, dynamic parameter management, route grouping with middleware support, named routes for URL generation, and more. Its lightweight architecture guarantees minimal overhead, delivering optimal performance without sacrificing functionality.

Note :

ViragRouter is actively developed and continuously enhanced. While it's currently in its developmental phase and may contain occasional bugs, so it is not recommended for production use at this time. We appreciate your patience and understanding as i work towards delivering a stable and reliable product. However, you can safely use it for learning purposes, exploring its features, and exploring advanced routing concepts in PHP.

Installation

You can install ViragRouter via Composer:

composer require viragrajput/router

Run local PHP Server

php -S localhost:8000 -t public

Usage

Creating Routes

You can define routes using the Route class provided by ViragRouter. Here's an example of how to define a route:

use Virag\Router\Route;

Route::get('/hello', function () {
    echo "Hello, World!";
});

Route::get('/hello', [HelloController::class, 'index']);

Route Parameters

You can define route parameters by enclosing them in curly braces {}. These parameters will be passed to your route handler. Here's an example:

use Virag\Router\Route;

Route::get('/users/{id}', function ($id) {
    echo "User ID: $id";
});

Route::get('/users/{id}', [UserController::class, 'show']);

Route Groups

You can group routes and apply common attributes using the group method. Here's an example:

use Virag\Router\Route;

Route::group(['middleware' => 'auth'], function () {
    Route::get('/dashboard', 'DashboardController@index');
    Route::get('/settings', 'SettingsController@index');
});

Route::group(['middleware' => 'auth'], function () {
    Route::get('/dashboard', [DashboardController::class, 'index'])->name('dashboard');
    Route::get('/settings', [SettingsController::class, 'index'])->name('settings');
});

Named Routes

You can name your routes using the name method. Named routes allow you to generate URLs based on the route name. Here's an example:

use Virag\Router\Route;

Route::get('/profile', 'ProfileController@index')->name('profile');

Route::get('/profile', [ProfileController::class, 'index'])->name('profile');

Middleware

You can apply middleware to routes using the middleware method. Middleware allows you to filter HTTP requests entering your application. Here's an example:

use Virag\Router\Route;

Route::get('/admin', 'AdminController@index')->middleware('admin');

Route::get('/admin', [AdminController::class, 'index'])->middleware('admin');

Generating URLs

You can generate URLs for named routes using the generateUrl method. Here's an example:

use Virag\Router\Route;

$url = Route::generateUrl('profile');
echo "Profile URL: $url";

Handling Requests

You can handle incoming requests using the dispatch method of the Router class. Here's an example:

use Virag\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Virag\HttpFoundation\Response;

$router = new Router();

$request = Request::createFromGlobals();
$response = $router->dispatch($request);
$response->send();

How To Use This Package in Your Custom PHP Project

Certainly! Below is an example of how you can integrate the ViragRouter package into your custom PHP Project:

Step 1: Install ViragRouter via Composer

First, install the ViragRouter package via Composer:

composer require viragrajput/router

Step 2: Define Routes in Your Custom Project

In your custom Project, you'll need to define routes using the ViragRouter Route class. Here's an example of how you can define routes in your Project:

// index.php

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use ViragRouter\Route;

Route::get('/', function () {
    echo "Welcome to my custom Project!";
});

Route::get('/hello/{name}', function ($name) {
    echo "Hello, $name!";
});

Step 3: Create a Router Instance and Handle Requests

In your Project entry point (e.g., index.php), create a router instance and handle incoming requests:

// index.php

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use ViragRouter\Router;
use Virag\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Virag\HttpFoundation\Response;

$router = new Router();

$request = Request::createFromGlobals();
$response = $router->dispatch($request);
$response->send();

Step 4: Handle Requests in Your Custom Project

In your custom Project, ensure that you have logic to handle requests and invoke the appropriate route handlers based on the incoming requests.

Step 6: Additional Configuration (Optional)

Depending on your custom Project's architecture and requirements, you may need to configure additional features such as middleware, route groups, named routes, etc., provided by ViragRouter.

By following these steps, you should be able to integrate the ViragRouter package into your custom PHP project and define and handle routes effectively. Adjustments may be needed based on your project's specific requirements and architecture.
