Routa
=====

[](#routa)

A RESTful, flexible MVC router component for PHP 5.4+. Declare rules which route HTTP requests to a controller.

Do we need another router?
--------------------------

[](#do-we-need-another-router)

There's loads of router components so why do we need another? Many of the existing ones are tightly coupled, poorly written. Routa is built with the following in mind:

- RESTful
- Loosely coupled
- Inspired by Ruby on Rails
- Compatible with PHP >= 5.3
- Prefers convention over configuration
- Flexible and extendable
- Automated test suite

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

[](#installation)

Routa adheres to the [PSR-0](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-0.md) spec. If you have a compatible autoloader place the contents of `lib` in your vendor directory.

Basic usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

Within your code create a new instance of the router class.

```
$router = new LancerHe\Router\Router;

```

This approach automatically uses the current page URL and HTTP method from the $\_SERVER super global, it's possible to override this which we'll cover later.

Next add some routes to map URLs to controller names/actions:

```
$router
    ->add('GET', '/login', 'v1#Account#login')
    ->add('GET', '/profile/:id', 'v1#User#view')
    ->add('GET', '/profile/:id/edit', 'v1#User#edit')
    ->add('GET', '/search/*', 'v1#Products#search');

```

Once all your routes have been declared match your request against them.

```
if($result = $router->match()) {
    // Assuming the url is /profile/432
    var_dump($result->getModuleName()); // returns 'v1'
    var_dump($result->getControllerName()); // returns 'User'
    var_dump($result->getActionName()); // returns 'view'
    var_dump($result->getParams); // returns ['id' => 432]
    // Load your controller…
} else {
    // Display your 404 page.
}

```
