SimpleRouter is a lightweight and easy-to-use PHP router for building web applications.

Features

• Simple and intuitive syntax
• Support for dynamic routes with URL parameters
• Support for HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE)
• Easily customizable
• Lightweight and fast

Requirements

• PHP >= 8.1

Installation

You can install SimpleRouter using Composer:

composer require devceliojr/simplerouter

Usage

Here's a simple example of how to use SimpleRouter:

<?php

require __DIR__ . "/vendor/autoload.php";

use SimpleRouter\Application\Router;

$router = new Router;

$router->get('/', function () {
    echo 'Hello, world!';
});

$router->dispatch();

This will create a new router, define a route for the homepage, and run the router.

You can also define dynamic routes with URL parameters:

$router->get('/users/{id:number}', function ($request) {
    echo "User {$request->body->id}";
});

In this example, any URL that matches the pattern /users/{id:number} will be handled by the callback function, which will receive the value of id as an argument.

The supported parameter types are:

• number: accepts only numeric values
• letter: accepts only alphabetical characters
• alpha: accepts alphanumeric characters
• any: accepts any character

You can use HTTP methods other than GET by calling the corresponding function on the router:

$router->post('/users', function () {
    echo "Creating user...";
});

In this example, the callback function will be executed when a POST request is made to the /users URL.

You can also use HTTP verbs with dynamic routes:

$router->put('/users/{id:number}', function ($request) {
    echo "Updating user {$request->body->id}...";
});

In this example, the callback function will be executed when a PUT request is made to a URL that matches the pattern /users/{id:number}.

For more complex applications, you can use nested routes and subgroups:

$router->group(null, function () use ($router) {
    $router->get("/", [HomeController::class, "home"]);
});

$router->group("/admin", function () use ($router) {
    $router->get("/", [AdminController::class, "show"]);
    $router->subgroup("/financial", function () use ($router) {
        $router->get("/", [AdminController::class, "financial"]);
    });
});

In this example, the HomeController class handles the root URL, while the AdminController class handles URLs under the /admin prefix. The financial method of the AdminController class is accessed by navigating to /admin/financial.
