Interfaces and Implementations

Interfaces

1. Handlers
   1. IArgumentResolver - Using the PHP Reflection API, determine the type, number and values of arguments used when invoking some method
   2. IRouteHandler - Route handlers are responsible for locating some endpoint and returning the content. This can be anything, a file, class, some global function, an RPC, etc.
2. Route Objects
   1. IHTTPRoute - An object representing a potential destination and the requirements for connection.
   2. IHTTPRouteFactory - A factory optionally used to supply instances of IHTTPRoute to implementations of IHTTPRouter
3. Route Options
   1. IHTTPRouteOption - Used to extend the conditions required for route matching. This can be anything, such as the HTTP Method, accept headers, authentication tokens, etc.
   2. IHTTPRouteOptions - A collection of IHTTPRouteOption
4. Request for Routing
   1. IHTTPRouteRequest - Represents a HTTP Request message and exposes the relevant parts to the router
5. Router
   1. IHTTPRouter - The program responsible for determining which route to invoke based on some client request

The most basic router possible

try {
  echo ( new BasicRouter([
    '/' => fn() => 'This is the home page'
  ]))->route( new DefaultHTTPRouteRequest( $_SERVER ));
} catch( RouteNotFoundException $e ) {
  http_response_code( $e->getCode());  
}    

http://localhost displays: "This is the home page"

Adding arguments

Arguments can be added by using standard capture groups

try {
  echo ( new BasicRouter([
    '(\d+)' => fn( int $id ) => 'Found digit ' . $id
  ]))->route( new DefaultHTTPRouteRequest( $_SERVER ));
} catch( RouteNotFoundException $e ) {
  http_response_code( $e->getCode());  
}    

http://localhost/1 displays: "Found digit 1"

We can used named arguments by using named capture groups like this

If named arguments are used, then ALL arguments must be named. Mixing of positional arguments with named arguments is not allowed.

In the following example, naming $id anything other than $id will throw an exception.

try {
  echo ( new BasicRouter([
    '(?<id>\d+)' => fn( int $id ) => 'Found digit ' . $id,
  ]))->route( new DefaultHTTPRouteRequest( $_SERVER ));
} catch( RouteNotFoundException $e ) {
  http_response_code( $e->getCode());  
}
