Usage

Simple example

use QuickRoute\Route;
use QuickRoute\Router\Dispatcher;

require('vendor/autoload.php');

Route::get('/', function () {
    echo 'Hello world';
});

$method = $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'];
$path = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

//create route dispatcher
$dispatcher = Dispatcher::collectRoutes()
    ->dispatch($method, $path);

//determine dispatch result
switch (true) {
    case $dispatcher->isFound():
        $controller = $dispatcher->getRoute()->getController();
        $controller($dispatcher->getUrlParameters());
        break;
    case $dispatcher->isNotFound():
        echo "Page not found";
        break;
    case $dispatcher->isMethodNotAllowed():
        echo "Request method not allowed";
        break;
}

Controller-like example

use QuickRoute\Route;

Route::get('/home', 'MainController@home');

Advance usage

use QuickRoute\Route;

Route::prefix('user')->name('user.')
    ->namespace('User')
    ->middleware('UserMiddleware')
    ->group(function (){
        Route::get('profile', 'UserController@profile');
        Route::put('update', 'UserController@update');
    });

More Advance Usage

use QuickRoute\Route;

Route::prefix('user')
    ->prepend('api')
    ->append('{token}')
    ->middleware('UserMiddleware')
    ->group(function (){
        Route::get('profile', 'UserController@profile');
        Route::put('update', 'UserController@update');
    });

// => /api/user/{token}

Defining route param types

use QuickRoute\Route;

// id => must be number
Route::get('users/{id}', 'Controller@index')->whereNumber('id');
// name => must be alphabetic
Route::get('users/{name}', 'Controller@profile')->whereAlpha('name');
// username => must be alphanumeric
Route::get('users/{username}', 'Controller@profile')->whereAlphaNumeric('username');

// Manually provide regular expression pattern to match parameter with
Route::get('/users/{id}', 'a')->where('id', '[0-9]+');
Route::get('/users/{user}/posts/{post}', 'Ctrl@method')->where([
    'user' => '[a-zA-Z]+',
    'post' => '[0-9]+'
]);

Route Fields

Fields help to add more description to route or group of routes

use QuickRoute\Route;

Route::prefix('user')
    ->middleware('User')
    ->addField('specie', 'human')
    ->group(function (){
        Route::get('type', 'admin')->addField('permissions', 'all');
        Route::get('g', fn() => print('Hello world'));
    });

Route::match()

use QuickRoute\Route;
use QuickRoute\Router\Collector;
use QuickRoute\Router\Dispatcher;

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$controller = fn() => print time();
Route::match(['get', 'post'], '/user', $controller)
    ->middleware('auth')
    ->namespace('App')
    ->name('home');

$collector = Collector::create()->collect();

$dispatchResult = Dispatcher::create($collector)
    ->dispatch('get', '/user/hello');

var_export($dispatchResult->getRoute());

Route::match() with named routes

use QuickRoute\Route;

Route::match(['get', 'post'], 'login', 'AuthController@login')->name('login.');

//Will generate below routes
Route::get('login', 'AuthController@login')->name('login.get');
Route::post('login', 'AuthController@login')->name('login.post');

Route::any()

use QuickRoute\Route;
use QuickRoute\Router\Collector;
use QuickRoute\Router\Dispatcher;

$controller = fn() => print time();

Route::any(['/login', '/admin/login'], 'get', $controller);

$collector = Collector::create()->collect();

$dispatchResult1 = Dispatcher::create($collector)
    ->dispatch('get', '/login');
    
$dispatchResult2 = Dispatcher::create($collector)
    ->dispatch('get', '/admin/login');

Route::matchAny()

use QuickRoute\Route;

Route::matchAny(
    ['get', 'post'], 
    ['/customer/login', '/admin/login'],
    'MainController@index'
);

//Which is equivalent to:
Route::get('/customer/login', 'MainController@index');
Route::post('/customer/login', 'MainController@index');
Route::get('/admin/login', 'MainController@index');
Route::post('/admin/login', 'MainController@index');

Route::resource()

use QuickRoute\Route;

Route::resource('photos', 'App\Http\Controller\PhotoController');

Code above will produce below routes

Crud::create()

use QuickRoute\Crud;

Crud::create('/', 'Controller')->go();

Code above will produce below routes

Why not use Route::resource()?
Crud creator generates 6 routes, one of the routes which deletes all record in the endpoint.
With Crud creator you can choose which routes to create or not.

use QuickRoute\Crud;

//Disabling route creation
Crud::create('/', 'Controller')
    ->disableIndexRoute()
    ->disableStoreRoute()
    ->disableDestroyAllRoute()
    ->disableShowRoute()
    ->disableUpdateRoute()
    ->disableDestroyRoute()
    ->go();

//Specifying custom route parameter name 
Crud::create('/', 'Controller')->parameter('userId');

//Specify parameter type 
Crud::create('/', 'Controller')->numericParameter();
Crud::create('/', 'Controller')->alphabeticParameter();
Crud::create('/', 'Controller')->alphaNumericParameter();

Routes as configuration

//routes.php
use QuickRoute\Route;

Route::get('/', 'MainController@index');
Route::get('/help', 'MainController@help');


//server.php
use QuickRoute\Router\Collector;

$collector = Collector::create()
    ->collectFile('routes.php')
    ->register();

$routes = $collector->getCollectedRoutes();

Caching

Cache routes so that they don't have to be collected every time.

use QuickRoute\Router\Collector;

$collector = Collector::create()
    ->collectFile('routes.php')
    ->cache('path/to/save/cache.php', false)
    ->register();

$routes = $collector->getCollectedRoutes();

Caching routes with closure

use QuickRoute\Route;
use QuickRoute\Router\Collector;

Route::get('/', function (){
    echo uniqid();
});

$collector = Collector::create()
    ->collect()
    ->cache('path/to/save/cache.php', true)
    ->register();

$routes = $collector->getCollectedRoutes();

Note that you must specify that your routes contains closure

Passing Default Data

You can alternatively pass data to be prepended to all routes.
Cached routes must be cleared manually after setting/updating default route data.

use QuickRoute\Router\Collector;

$collector = Collector::create();
$collector->collectFile('api-routes.php', [
    'prefix' => 'api',
    'name' => 'api.',
    'namespace' => 'Api\\'
]);
$collector->register();

Changing Delimiter

For usage outside of web context, a function to change default delimiter which is "/" has been provided.

use QuickRoute\Route;
use QuickRoute\Router\Collector;
use QuickRoute\Router\Dispatcher;

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

Route::prefix('hello')
    ->group(function () {
        Route::get('world', fn() => print('Hello World'));
    });

$collector = Collector::create()
    ->prefixDelimiter('.')
    ->collect()
    ->register();

$dispatchResult = Dispatcher::create($collector)
    ->dispatch('get', 'hello.world');

var_export($dispatchResult);

Finding route & generating route uri

use QuickRoute\Route;
use QuickRoute\Router\Collector;

Route::get('/users', 'Controller@method')->name('users.index');

$collector = Collector::create()->collect();
echo $collector->uri('users.index');  // => /users
$collector->route('users.index'); // => Instance of QuickRoute\Route\RouteData

Note

• You must be careful when using Collector::collect() and Collector::collectFile() together, as collectFile method will clear previously collected routes before it starts collecting.
  Make sure that you call Collector::collect() first, before calling Collector::collectFile().
