🔧 Usage

[](#-usage)

### Basic Routing

[](#basic-routing)

```
use MatinKiani\SimpleRouter\Router;

$router = new Router();

// Define routes
$router->get('/', function() {
    return 'Hello World!';
});

$router->get('/users/{id}', function($id) {
    return "User {$id}";
})->name('user.show');

// Handle the request
$response = $router->dispatch($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'], $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
echo $response;
```

### Route Groups

[](#route-groups)

```
$router->group([
    'prefix' => '/admin',
    'middleware' => function($next) {
        // Check if user is admin
        if (!isAdmin()) {
            return 'Unauthorized';
        }
        return $next();
    }
], function() use ($router) {
    $router->get('/dashboard', function() {
        return 'Admin Dashboard';
    });

    $router->get('/users', function() {
        return 'Admin Users List';
    });
});
```

### Named Routes

[](#named-routes)

- Note that dynamic parameters are not supported in named routes yet.

```
$router->get('/posts', function() {
    return "Post";
})->name('post.show');

// Generate URL
$url = $router->route('post.show'); // Returns: /posts
```

### Middleware

[](#middleware)

```
// Global middleware
$router->addGlobalMiddleware(function($next) {
    // Do something before
    $response = $next();
    // Do something after
    return $response;
});

// Route specific middleware
$router->get('/protected', function() {
    return 'Protected Content';
})->middleware(function($next) {
    if (!isAuthenticated()) {
        return 'Please login';
    }
    return $next();
});
```
