ZestRouter is a small but powerful routing class for php

<?php 

use Lablnet\ZestRouter;

require_once "../vendor/autoload.php";

$router = new ZestRouter;

//Namespaces uses for loading controllers olny
//$router->setDefaultNamespace("App\Controllers\\");

$router->get('', function () {
    echo 'Example route using closure';
});
/*
//OR
$router->add('', function () {
    echo 'Example route using closure';
},'GET');
*/
$router->get('test','Home@index');
/*
 //OR
 $router->get('test',['controller' => 'Home', 'action' => 'index']);
 //OR
  $router->add('test',['controller' => 'Home', 'action' => 'index'],'GET');

*/
//Dispatch/Process the request automatically for mannually dispatch request take a look at Process Request section
$router->dispatch($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);

Features

  • Can be used with all HTTP Methods

install

Run the command in terminal/cmd composer require lablnet/zestrouter

Getting started

Requirements

  • PHP 7 or newest
  • Composer

Rewrite all requests

Apache (.htaccess)

# Remove the question mark from the request but maintain the query string
RewriteEngine On

# Uncomment the following line if your public folder isn't the web server's root
# RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?$1 [L,QSA]

Nginx (nginx.conf)


location / { 
    if (!-f $request_filename){
        set $rule_0 1$rule_0;
    }   
    if (!-d $request_filename){
        set $rule_0 2$rule_0;
    }
    if ($rule_0 = "21"){
        rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php?$1 last;
    }   
}

Adding Routes

By now, you should have rewrite all requests

simple (default way)

there are many to two ways to add the routes

Using add method

    $router->add('', function () {
        echo "Welcome";
    },'GET'); 

The add() method accepts the following parameters.

$route (string) This is the route pattern to match against. This can be a plain string, a custom regex.

$params (array|string|Closure) This is paramter for controllers and controller method or closure (array) => ['controller' => 'Home', 'action' => 'index'] (string) => "Home@index" (closure) => function () { echo "Welcome"; }

$method (string) This is a pipe-delimited string of the accepted HTTP requests methods.

Example: GET|POST|PATCH|PUT|DELETE

Using rests method

    $router->get('', function () {
        echo "Welcome";
    }); 

there are 5 request methods supports `get(),post(),put(),patch(),delete()``

These methods accepts the following parameters.

$route (string) This is the route pattern to match against. This can be a plain string, a custom regex.

$params (array|string|Closure) This is paramter for controllers and controller method or closure (array) => ['controller' => 'Home', 'action' => 'index'] (string) => "Home@index" (closure) => function () { echo "Welcome"; }

Example adding the routes

// add homepage using callable
$router->get( '/home', function() {
    require __DIR__ . '/views/home.php';
});

// add users details page using controller@action string
$router->get( 'users/{id:[0-9]+}', 'UserController@showDetails' );

For quickly adding multiple routes, you can use the addRoutes method. This method accepts an array or any kind of traversable.

$router->addRoutes(array(
  array('users/{username:\w+}', 'users@view', 'get'),
  array('users/{id:\d+}', 'users@update', 'PATCH'),
  array('users/{id:\d+}', 'users@delete', 'DELETE')
));

Matching Requests

To match the current request, just call the customDispatch() method without any parameters.

$match = $router->customDispatch();

If a match was found, the customDispatch() method will return an associative array

Processing Requests

ZestRouter process requests for you but so you are free to use the method you prefer. To help you get started, here's a simplified example using closures.

//Add the routes
$router->get('', function () {
    echo 'Example route using closure';
});
$router->get('user/{id:\d+}', function ($args) {
    echo 'Example route using closure with params id: ' .$args['id'];
});

// match current request url
$match = $router->customDispatch();
if ($match && is_callable( $match['callable'] )) {
	call_user_func( $match['callable'], $match ); 
} else {
	// no route was matched
	echo '404 Not Found';
}
