Get requestpath with variables

[lucacastelnuovo]

Would it be possible to have an $request->getUri() alternative that returns the base path.

Example:

1. Request to the route /example/{var} with /example/123
2. $request->getUri() returns /example/123

How would I get the original base (/example/{var})? Maybe $request->getBase()?

Currently, this feature is no available. Could you please explain why do you need this feature and what's your use case?

I'm trying to create ratelimit middleware (https://github.com/Luca-Castelnuovo/CubeQuence-framework/blob/master/src/CubeQuence/Middleware/RateLimit.php). And I would like to be able to have multiple limits set for multiple endpoints.

For the following example:

$router->get('/foo', 'ExampleController@foo', RateLimit::class); // 45 requests / 60 seconds
$router->get('/bar', 'ExampleController@bar', RateLimit::class); // 10 requests / 5 seconds

I was planning to achieve this by getting the request path

$path = $request->getUri();
$path = strtok($path, '?');
$path = strtok($path, '#');

And then lookup aan associative array

$path = Request::path($request);

$this->max_requests = (int) Config::get("ratelimit.{$path}.max_requests") ?: 60;
$this->reset_time = (int) Config::get("ratelimit.{$path}.reset_time") ?: 60;

This would work fine if I didn't use URL params. Because if you use the following:

$router->get('/fooBar/{uuid}', 'ExampleController@foo', RateLimit::class); // 45 requests / 60 seconds

I wouldn't be able to create an config entry for each uuid.
So if I could get the basepath like:

$basePath = Request::basePath($request);

$this->max_requests = (int) Config::get("ratelimit.{$basePath}.max_requests") ?: 60;
$this->reset_time = (int) Config::get("ratelimit.{$basePath}.reset_time") ?: 60;

I could configure limits for each route.

Thanks for your suggestion, I'm working on the next major version of PhpRouter, I will consider this feature.
