⚠️ This package is deprecated and won't receive any updates, use [chimera/routing-mezzio](https://github.com/chimeraphp/routing-mezzio) instead ⚠️

> The term Chimera (*/kɪˈmɪərə/* or */kaɪˈmɪərə/*) has come to describe any mythical or fictional animal with parts taken from various animals, or to describe anything composed of very disparate parts, or perceived as wildly imaginative, implausible, or dazzling.

There are many many amazing libraries in the PHP community and with the creation and adoption of the PSRs we don't necessarily need to rely on full stack frameworks to create a complex and well designed software. Choosing which components to use and plugging them together can sometimes be a little challenging.

The goal of this set of packages is to make it easier to do that (without compromising the quality), allowing you to focus on the behaviour of your software.

This package just provides adapters for Zend Expressive v3.0, so that it can be used as HTTP application.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Package is available on [Packagist](http://packagist.org/packages/chimera/routing-expressive), you can install it using [Composer](http://getcomposer.org).

```
composer require chimera/routing-expressive
```

### PHP Configuration

[](#php-configuration)

In order to make sure that we're dealing with the correct data, we're using `assert()`, which is a very interesting feature in PHP but not often used. The nice thing about `assert()` is that we can (and should) disable it in production mode so that we don't have useless statements.

So, for production mode, we recommend you to set `zend.assertions` to `-1` in your `php.ini`. For development you should leave `zend.assertions` as `1` and set `assert.exception` to `1`, which will make PHP throw an [`AssertionError`](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/class.assertionerror.php)when things go wrong.

Check the documentation for more information:

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To use this package you need to configured your Zend Expressive application to use our packages (as explained [here](https://github.com/chimeraphp/routing#usage)) and register instances of `Chimera\Routing\Expressive\UriGenerator` and `Chimera\Routing\Expressive\RouteParamsExtractor` in your DI container.
