🚜 Robust PHP router 🚜

🔥 Introduction :

Aven (ayven) is a robust and flexible PHP router For PHP7 and newer versions.

📌 Requirements :

• PHP 7.2 or newer versions
• PHPUnit >= 8 (for testing purpose)

🚀 Installation & Use :

    composer require lotfio/aven

✏️ Usage :

1- Quick use :

 <?php
    require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

    // here we are using $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']
    // you can use $_GET['uri']
    $router = new Aven\Router($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

    $router->get('/', function(){  // with a callback
        return "welcome from aven";
    });

    $router->get('/', "UsersController@method"); // controller method
    $router->get('/', "UsersController::method"); // controller static method


    $router->init(); // initialize router

2- Available routes :

• GET, POST, ANY, PUT, DELETE, HEAD

 <?php

    $router->get('/',  function(){ return " this is get method"; });
    $router->post('/', function(){ return " this is post method"; });
    $router->any('/',  function(){ return " this is any method allows all"; });

    $router->put('/',    function(){ return " this is put method. you should send $_POST['_method'] = 'put'"; });
    $router->delete('/', function(){ return " this is delete method. you should send $_POST['_method'] = 'delete'"; });
    $router->head('/',   function(){ return " this is head method. you should send $_POST['_method'] = 'head'"; });

3- named routes :

 <?php
    $router->get('/',  function(){ return "this is get named route (default)";})->name('default');

4- redirects :

• $router->redirect(string $routeName, array $params = [], int $httpcode = 301)

 <?php
    // route 1
    $router->get('/',  function() use($router){  // accessing this route will redirect you to route2 means /hola

        $router->redirect('route2'); // if parametrised route you can pass array of parameters

    })->name('default');

    // route 2
    $router->get('/hola',  function(){ return " welcome to hola from default route";})->name('route2');

5- route parameters :

• you can use both parenthesis or curly braces for parameters
• predefind parameters:
  • :int, :integer, :num, :numeric, :number = \d+
  • :str = \w+
  • :alpha = [A-z]+

 <?php

    $router->get('/test/(:int)',  function(){}); // evaluates to /test/\d+
    $router->get('/test/(:str)',  function(){}); // evaluates to /test/\w+

    // optional parameters (if optional parameter uri should end with /)
    $router->get('/test/(:id*)',  function(){}); // optional id /test/ or /test/1
    $router->get('/test/(:id?)',  function(){}); // zero or one id /test/ or /test/0-9

6- custom route parameters :

• ->regex(array $params)

 <?php
    // override predefined param
    $router->get('/test/(:str)',  function(){})->regex(array(":str"=> '[my-reg-ex]'));

    // custom param
    $router->get('/test/(:hola)',  function(){})->regex(array(":hola"=> '[my-reg-ex]'));

7- route groups :

• $router->group(string $uri,callable $callback, ?string $groupName)

• you can have as many nested groups as you want

 <?php

   $router->group('/mygroup', function($router){  // groups adds prefixes to routes

        $router->get('/test',  function(){ return "from /mygroup/test" }); // evaluates to /mygroup/test

   });

    // multiple groups
    $router->group('/group1', function($router){

        $router->group('/group2', function($router){

            $router->get('/test',  function(){ return "from /group1/group2/test" }); // evaluates to /group1/group2/test
        });
   });

8- route namespaces :

• $router->namespace(string $uri,callable $callback)

• you can have as many nested namespaces as you want

 <?php

   $router->namespace('My\\Namespace', function($router){  // you can also use dots (My.Namespace) instead of \\
        $router->get('/test',  "TestController@test"}); // evaluates to My\\Namespace\\TestController@test
   });

    // multiple groups
    $router->namespace('ns1', function($router){

        $router->namespace('ns2', function($router){

            $router->get('/test',  "TestController@test"); // evaluates to ns1\\ns2\\TestController@test
        });
   });

9- additionl routes :

• $router->form(string $uri, $callback|$class, ?array $override, ?string $routeName)

 <?php
    // form route with callback
    $router->form('/login', function(){  }); // works both with GET and POST

    // form route with class
    $router->form('/login', Login::class); // by default class should have showForm & submitForm

    // override default form methods
    $router->form('/login', Login::class, ['get','post']);

    // named form method
    $router->form('/login', Login::class, ['get','post'], 'login.form');

10- additionl routes :

• $router->crud(string $uri, string $class, ?array $only, ?string $routeName)

 <?php
    // crud route
    // this needs a User class with 4 methods create,read,update,delete
    // create => POST user/create
    // read   => GET with optional pareter user/read/
    // update => PUT with optional pareter user/update/
    // delete => DELETE with optional pareter user/delete/
    $router->crud('/user', User::class);

    // disable some methods
    $router->crud('/user', User::class, ['c']); // only create
    $router->crud('/user', User::class, ['create']); // only create
    $router->crud('/user', User::class, ['c', 'u']); //  create & update
    $router->crud('/user', User::class, ['create', 'update']); //  create & update

    // named crud
    $router->crud('/user', User::class, NULL, 'myCrud'); //  name can be used for redirections
