SimpleRouter

SimpleRouter is a lightweight PHP routing library that helps you define and handle HTTP routes easily. It allows you to create routes for different HTTP methods (GET, POST) and execute corresponding callbacks when a matching route is found.

Getting Started

Installation

You can include the SimpleRouter class in your project by copying the provided Router class file into your project directory.

Usage

1. Define Routes: Use get and post methods of the Router class to define routes. The routes consist of a path and a callback that will be executed when the route is matched.

// Using a closure
Router::get('/info', function() {
  phpinfo();
});

// Using a controller method
Router::get('/user/{name}', [Controllers\Controller::class, 'show']);
Router::post('/submit', [Controllers\Controller::class, 'submitForm']);

You can use dynamic segments in the path by enclosing them in curly braces.

1. Dispatch Routes: Create a Request object representing the incoming HTTP request and pass it to the dispatch method of the Router to find and execute the matching route.

$request = new Request('GET', 'home/John');
$response = Router::dispatch($request);

1. Handle Responses: The dispatch method returns a Response object generated by the matched route's callback. You can then handle and manipulate the response as needed.

echo $response->getBody();
