WordPress Router
================

[](#wordpress-router)

This package allows you to register hard-coded WordPress pages.

Under the hood, it creates CMS-based pages which are stored in the database.

This package is very useful for plugins or themes which have pre-determined content, such as dashboards with their own templates on a specific route.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To prevent any unintended behaviour, use this package's functionality inside the `init` hook.

Register Routes:

```
add_action( 'init', function () {
    $router = new Router();
    $router->route( [
        'name'     => 'home', // slug my-custom-route
        'template' => 'views/template-home.blade.php', // template path
        'ref'      => 'home', // reference for URL fetching
    ] )->route( [
        'name'     => 'about us',
        'template' => 'views/template-about.blade.php',
        'ref'      => 'about',
    ] )->bind();
} );
```

Get a route URL:

```
\Cowshed\Router\Router::url('test')
```

Most methods in the Router class are chainable.
