Usage
=====

[](#usage)

Get the Koddn Php Router

```
// composer auto loader
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use KODDN\ROUTER;

// match get request
ROUTER::get('/',function($req,$res,$next){
    // ..do something
    $res->send("Welcome to Koddn Php Router");
});
```

Usage - method 2
----------------

[](#usage---method-2)

Simply add src/KODDN\_ROUTER.php file in your project;

```
// composer auto loader
require __DIR__ . '/src/KODDN_ROUTER.php';

// match get request
ROUTER::get('/',function($req,$res,$next){
    // ..do something
    $res->send("Thanks");
});
```

Patterns
--------

[](#patterns)

You can use patterns to match the request

- :paramName => named URL segments that are used to capture the values specified at their position in the URL, begin with colon
- - => will capture anything

In the below example we are capturing user id from the url

```
// URL => /api/user/111

ROUTER::get('/api/user/:id',function($req,$res){

    $id=$req['params']['id'];
    // $req['params]=>['id'='111']

});
```

In the example we are capturing using

```
// URL => /flight/india-usa

ROUTER::get('/flight/:from-:to',function($req,$res){

    // $req['params]=['from'=>'india','to'=>'usa'];
    $from =$req['params']['from'];
    $to = $req['params']['to'];

});
```

```
// URL => /post-name-apc/123
ROUTER::get('/*/:postID',function($req,$res){

    // $req['params']=['postID'=>'123'];
    $postID =$req['params']['postID'];
    // do something

});
```

Route Handlers
==============

[](#route-handlers)

We can use multiple callback functions to handle the route

```
ROUTER::get('/some-url', function($req,$res,$next){

    // Do something here
    echo "START" ;

    // call Next Callback, control goes to next callback function
    $next();

},function($req,$res){

    echo "END";  // task completed

});
```

Also, if we want the edited request to be referenced in next callback then use &$req as request parameter

```
ROUTER::get('/dashboard', function(&$req,$res,$next){

    // if user authorized
    $req['userID']= "someUserID";

    $next();

},function(&$req){

   // now you can have use the req.userID here as well

});
```

Middleware
==========

[](#middleware)

Sample how we can use it as middleware for authentication

Middlewares can be implemented using "use" method

```
ROUTER::use('/user',function($req,$res,$next){

             ROUTER::get('/me', function ($req, $res, $next) {

            // do something here
                        });
        });

// OR
ROUTER::use('/user',function($req,$res,$next){

        require __DIR__."/routes/user.php"; //
});
```

```
ROUTER::post('/login', function(&$req,$res,$next){

    // do the authorize stuff here
    if(!authorize){
    $res->send("invalid");
    }
    $next();

},function(&$req,$res){

   // do something if authorized
  // grantAccessToSomething

});
```

Redirect
========

[](#redirect)

```
//ROUTER::redirect('/url-to-match', callbackBeforeRedirect, 'redirect to url', $replaceHeaders=false (optional), $redirectCode =301 (optional));
ROUTER::redirect('/url-to-match', function(){/*do some logs*/}, '/new-url', $replaceHeaders =false/*( boolean optional)*/, $redirectCode=301 /*(int optional)*/);
```

Responses
=========

[](#responses)

With Koddn PHP router either you can manually handle responses, or you can use the built-in ones.

```
ROUTER::post('/about', function($req,$res,$next){
 $res->send("About us");
});
```

Send JSON data
--------------

[](#send-json-data)

```
ROUTER::post('/api/user', function($req,$res,$next){
    $userData=['name'=>"Harpal Singh", 'id'=>11];
     $res->json($userData);
});
```

Set Header Status Codes
-----------------------

[](#set-header-status-codes)

```
ROUTER::post('/api/user', function($req,$res,$next){

     $res->setStatus(404)->send('Not Found');
});
```

### Clear cookies

[](#clear-cookies)

```
ROUTER::post('/api/user', function($req,$res,$next){
     // clear all cookies
     $res->clearCookies();

     // clear specific cookies
     $res->clearCookies('nameOfCookie');

     // do something

});
```

### Clear cookies

[](#clear-cookies-1)

```
ROUTER::post('/api/user', function($req,$res,$next){
    // clear Sessions
     $res->clearSession();

     // do something

});
```

### End request

[](#end-request)

It is similar to die();

```
ROUTER::post('/api/user', function($req,$res,$next){
    // clear Sessions
     $res->end();
      // do something

});
```

### Redirect using Response

[](#redirect-using-response)

```
//ROUTER::redirect('redirect to url', $replaceHeaders=false (optional), $redirectCode =301 (optional));
ROUTER::post('/api/user', function($req,$res,$next){
    // clear Sessions
     $res->redirect('/new-url',$replaceHeaders=false /*(optional)*/, $redirectCode =301  /*(optional)*/);
      // do something

});
```

ALL Functions
=============

[](#all-functions)

```
ROUTER::any('/url-to-match',function(&$req,$res,$next){}/*, function(&$req,$res,$next){}*/);
ROUTER::post('/url-to-match',function(&$req,$res,$next){}/*, function(&$req,$res,$next){}*/);
ROUTER::get('/url-to-match',function(&$req,$res,$next){}/*, function(&$req,$res,$next){}*/);
ROUTER::put('/url-to-match',function(&$req,$res,$next){}/*, function(&$req,$res,$next){}*/);
ROUTER::delete('/url-to-match',function(&$req,$res,$next){}/*, function(&$req,$res,$next){}*/);
ROUTER::redirect('/url-to-match', function(){/*do some logs*/}, '/new-url', $replaceHeaders =false/*( boolean optional)*/, $redirectCode=301 /*(int optional)*/);
```

```
ROUTER::post('/url-to-match',function(&$req,$res,$next){
//
//$req = ['$fullUrl' => $fullUrl, 'url' => $url, 'path' => $path, 'params' => $params, 'rPath' => $rPath];

});
```

```
ROUTER::post('/url-to-match',function(&$req,$res,$next){
//send
$res->send('Some Text');
//json
$res->json(['id'=>11,'name'=>'Harpal Singh']);
//redirect using response
$res->redirect('/new-url',$replaceHeaders=false /*(optional)*/, $redirectCode =301  /*(optional)*/);
// Exit
$res->end();
// clear all cookies
$res->clearCookies();
// clear specific cookies
$res->clearCookies();
//set Status
$res->setStatus(404)->send('Not Found');
});
```
