Php Library Router

A flexible router with multiple options

Introduction

Unlike other routes, this router supports also database driven routes

Features

• Retrieve routes from database, or specify programatically
• Parametrized routes
• Middleware

Installation (est. 1 min)

composer require sinevia/php-library-router

Word of warning. Do use a stable package, as "dev-master" is a work in progress.

Create the database table:

$router = (new Plugins/Router);
$router->setDatabase($db);
$router->install();

Alternatively create the table manually with the following structure (default table name is snv_actions_action):

Id - integer Status - string / enum (Active|Inactive) ActionName - string Middleware - string Response - string Memo - text CreatedAt - datetime UpdatedAt - datetime DeletedAt - datetime

Uninstall (est. 1 min)

Removal of the package is a breeze:

composer require sinevia/php-library-router

Optionally, delete the route tables (the default table is snv_actions_action)

Configuration

$db = new Sinevia\SqlDb(your_database_options); die((new Plugins\Router())->setDatabase($db)->run()));

Example Routes

Id	Status	ActionName	Middleware	Response	Memo
1	Active	/		home	will excute the function home()
2	Inactive	/hello/:string	verifyUser,setLastLogin	hello	will excute the middleware functions verifyUser then setLastLogin then call the function hello($name)
3	Active	/admin		App\Admin@dashboard	will excute the method dashboard from class Admin in namespace App

Human Friendly Action Names

The following shortcuts can be used to create human friendly routes (actions):

Shortcut	Regex
:any	([^/]+)
:num	([0-9]+)
:all	(.*)
:string	([a-zA-Z]+)
:number	([0-9]+)
:numeric	([0-9-.]+)
:alpha'	([a-zA-Z0-9-_]+)

Example action name: /article/:num/:string
