Slim Router JS
==============

[](#slim-router-js)

```
Generate Slim Router path URLs using Javascript.

```

This package provides Javascript code to generate URLs for [named routes](https://www.slimframework.com/docs/objects/router.html#named-routes)in [Slim Framework](https://www.slimframework.com/) using Javascript:

```
var url = Slim.Router.pathFor('hello', {'name': 'World'});
```

The `Slim.Router` object provides the methods `pathFor()`and `relativePathFor()` which work the same as the `Slim\Router::pathFor()` and `Slim\Router:relativePathFor()` methods in PHP.

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

[](#installation)

Install the package using composer:

```
composer require llvdl/slim-router-js

```

Then add a route to generate the Javascript code for the `Slim.Router` object:

```
$app = new \Slim\App();

// Add router javascript
$app->get('/router.js', function($req, $res, $args) {
    $routerJs = new \Llvdl\Slim\RouterJs($this->router);
    return $routerJs->getRouterJavascriptResponse();
});
```

*Note:* `router.js` is considered as a static file by the PHP built-in webserver. Either use a router script, or use a pattern without an extension, for example '/router`. See the [PHP documentation](http://php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver.php)for more information.

Finally, in the HTML file, import the `router.js` file:

```

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To make a route available in `Slim.Router` in javascript, add a name to it:

```
$app->get('/hello/{name}', function($req, $res) {
  // ...
})->setName('hello');
```

*Note:* routes without a name are not available to `Slim.Router` in javascript.

In the HTML document, import `router.js`. The URL for the named route can then be generated using `Slim.Router.pathFor`:

```

    Go

      document.getElementById('submit-button').on('click', function() {
        var name = document.getElementById('name').value;
        var url = Slim.Router.pathFor('hello', {name: name});
        alert(url);
      });

```

See the [`example/`](./example) folder in this repository for an example script.

RouterJs methods:
-----------------

[](#routerjs-methods)

RouterJs is the PHP class that generates the Javascript code. It provides the following methods:

- `__constructor(\Slim\Router $router, bool $minified)`: constructor

    By default a minified javascript is returned. Set `$minified` to false for non-minified javascript code.
- `getRouterJavascriptResponse(): Slim\Response`

    Returns a HTTP response for use in an action
- `getRouterJavascript(): string`

    Generates the javascript code

Slim.Router methods
-------------------

[](#slimrouter-methods)

The `Slim.Router` object provides the following methods:

- `pathFor(name, data, queryParams)`
- `relativePathFor(name, data, queryParams)`

These method work as the `Slim\Router::pathFor()` and `Slim\Router::relativePathFor()` methods in PHP.

Tests
-----

[](#tests)

The repository contains PHPUnit tests for the PHP code. To run these:

```
phpunit -c app/phpunit.xml

```

There are no automatic tests for the javascript code. It has been manually tested, and found to be working, using the [example code](./example) in the following browsers:

- Chrome and Chromium
- Firefox
- Microsoft Edge
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 11

Todo
----

[](#todo)

This section lists some future functional improvements that can be made:

- Filter exposed routes, for example by route argument
- Caching

    Note that middleware can be used to cache the response.
- Allow for inclusing in a Javascript bundler, for example Webpack
