PHP Router Package

Simple object-oriented PHP router. Developed by Érick Firmo (BR) https://erickfirmo.dev

🔌 Prerequisites

• PHP >= 7
• URL rewrite

Install

To install with composer:

composer require erickfirmo/router

Usage

<?php

  // Requires composer autoloader
  require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

  // Creating the router instance
  $router = new \ErickFirmo\Router;

  // Defining optional settings

  // Load routes file
  require_once __DIR__ . '/routes/web.php';

  // Run the router
  $router->run();

Defining routes

Routes file example:

<?php

  $router->get('/examples', ExampleController::class, 'index', 'examples.index');
  $router->get('/examples/{id}', ExampleController::class, 'show', 'examples.show');
  $router->post('/examples/store', ExampleController::class, 'store', 'examples.store');
  $router->put('/examples/update/{id}', ExampleController::class, 'update', 'examples.update');
  $router->patch('/examples/update/{id}', ExampleController::class, 'update', 'examples.update');
  $router->delete('/examples/destroy/{id}', ExampleController::class, 'delete', 'examples.destroy');

Setting request HTTP verb in forms

To set the HTTP verb in your form action, create a input named _method with the verb value. The accepted values are PUT, PATCH, DELETE. Example:

  <input type="hidden" name="_method" value="PUT">

This setting is not necessary to use routes GET or POST.

Optional Settings

Namespace

If all of your manipulation classes are in the same namespace, you can set the default namespace to use in the router instance with setNamespace(string $namespace):

<?php

  $router->setNamespace('App\Controllers\\');

Error Page

By default, will be return a message error for routes not defined. You can set a custom page for this error, using notFoundView(string $view) method after instantiate the router:

<?php

  // Defining custom error page 404
  $router->notFoundView(__DIR__.'/../views/errors/404.php');

Passing Request Values

We can pass a request to our router using the setRequest(string $name, Object|array $request) method. This value will be used as the first argument of the called method. Example of using the request parameter:

<?php

  // Creating array with request data
  $request = $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST' ? $_POST : $_GET;

  // Passing request data
  $router->setRequest('request', $request);

Getting the request parameter in example of controller:

<?php

  class ExampleController
  {
    public function myMethod(array $request, int $id)
    {
      echo $request['name'];
      echo $id;
    }

  }

We can also pass an object as a parameter:

<?php

  class ExampleController
  {
    public function myMethod(Object $request, int $id)
    {
      echo $request->name;
      echo $id;
    }

  }
