Framework Agnostic PSR Router
=============================

[](#framework-agnostic-psr-router)

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
$routes = [
    // 1. "flat" syntax - single level configuration
    '/api/v1/users' => GetUsersHandler::class, // by default GET method ar user for single value
    // 2. Method-based syntax - two levels configuration
    '/api/v1/users/{id}' => [ // Router parse path params and set named arguments to request (method based syntax
        'GET' => GetUserHandler::class,
        'PATCH' => UpdateUserHandler::class,
        'DELETE' => new class implements \Psr\Http\Server\RequestHandlerInterface {
            // psr handler instance allowed as value too
        }
    ],
];

$fastRouteDispatcher = (new \FreeElephants\PsrRouter\FastRoute\DispatcherBuilder())
    ->addConfig($routes)
    ->addRoute('/foo', FooHandler::class) // You can define routes by one
    ->build();

$router = new \FreeElephants\PsrRouter\Router(
    $fastRouteDispatcher,
    new \FreeElephants\PsrRouter\RequestHandlerFactory($psrContainer),
);
```

Customization
-------------

[](#customization)

### Slash Normalizing

[](#slash-normalizing)

For handle trailing slashes in path you can inject PathNormalizer implementation into both classes:

- Router - its rtrim trailing slash at runtime from request path.
- DispatcherBuilder - its rtrim on add route at build time.

```
$pathNormalizer = new \FreeElephants\PsrRouter\PathNormalization\TrailingSlashTrimmer();
$dispatcher = (new \FreeElephants\PsrRouter\FastRoute\DispatcherBuilder(
    pathNormalizer: $pathNormalizer))
    ...
    ...
    ->build();

$router = new \FreeElephants\PsrRouter\Router(
    $dispatcher,
    $requestHandlerFactory,
    pathNormalizer: $pathNormalizer

)
```

### OPTIONS Handling

[](#options-handling)

By default, Router does not know about `OPTIONS` and allowed methods for route.

For handle `OPTIONS` request, you can set your own handler prototype. Every route will be handling this method according to other collected methods.

```
/**
 * @var \FreeElephants\PsrRouter\FastRoute\DispatcherBuilder $dispatcherBuilder
 */
$dispatcherBuilder->setOptionsHandlerPrototype($optionsRequestHandlerImpl)->build();
```

Middleware Configuration Support
--------------------------------

[](#middleware-configuration-support)

```
$middleware = (new \FreeElephants\Middleware\Laminas\MiddlewareBuilder($container))
    ->setDefaultMethods(['GET', 'POST']) // see MiddlewareBuilder::DEFAULT_METHODS
    ->addConfig([
        // Examples for different levels of configuration, anywhere path based
        '/' => RootMiddlewareForAllDefaultMethods::class,
        '/foo' => [
            FooMiddlewareA::class,
            FooMiddlewareB::class,
        ],
        '/foo/{arg}' => [
            'PUT' => [
                PutFooMiddleware::class,
            ],
            'OPTIONS' => FooWithArgOptionsMiddleware::class,
        ],
    ])
    ->build();

$middleware->process($request, $routerOrYourOwnedRequestHandler);
```
