Install
-------

[](#install)

To install router as a Composer package run:

```
$ composer require darktec/router
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

First initialize the router

```
Router::init();
```

Then create your mappings using METHOD, ROUTE, ACTION where ACTION is a function

```
Router::map('GET', '/', '\package\controller@function');

// OR

Router::map('GET', '/', function() {
    echo 1;
});
```

Finally match the request method and URI

Router::match($method, $uri);
```

If a match is found then the function defined is invoked.
