Features -------- [](#features) - PSR-7, PSR-11, PSR-15, PSR-17 compliant. - Controllers with attribute-based (annotations) routing. - Passing parsed request body as param to controller method. - Passing PSR request/response objects to controller method. - Optional controller method params resolved as URL Query params. - Params and body type casting according handler method signature. - Router compile advantages: - No need to load all controller classes every time. - Because of pre-compiled tree structure, the complexity of matching algorithm is O(log n) instead of O(n). - Almost no regex matches. - Reverse routing. - Fully configurable data deserialization. Lifecycle --------- [](#lifecycle) One-time compilation: - Looking for all Controller and its method according to routes. - Executing RouteAnnotations to resolve extra Route attributes. - Building and caching route tree. - Building and caching data for reverse routing. Runtime phase 1 (assumption): - Creating PSR-7 `ServerRequest` object. Runtime phase 2: - Resolving Controller, method and attributes for PSR-7 `ServerRequest`. - Modifying request by attaching custom attributes and data required to run controller. Runtime phase 3 (assumption): - Running other middlewares, which can be enabled/disabled based on PSR-7 `ServerRequest` attributes. Example: Authorization or CSFR can be disabled for specific routes. Runtime phase 4: - Reading the attributes from PSR-7 `ServerRequest`. - Running controller with method resolved on Phase 2. - If controller returned data in simplified form, wrapping it into final response. Why there is two middlewares for routing? ----------------------------------------- [](#why-there-is-two-middlewares-for-routing) The main reason is to use annotations (PHP Attributes) to configure other middlewares using Request attributes. For example, this allows to set `AuthMiddleware` in between, so it could reject request before it will be handled by `Controller`. RouteAnnotations ---------------- [](#routeannotations) `RouteAnnotations` is kind of syntax sugar. The same effect can be reached by `Route` `$attributes` parameter. Because route attributes are resolved before route tree is cache, it should not to be dynamic. Special handler method arguments -------------------------------- [](#special-handler-method-arguments) There is ability to pass Request or even parsed body directly to route handler: - If type of handler method parameter is `ServerRequestInterface`, it will be resolved as raw $request. - If type of handler method parameter is `ResponseInterface`, it will be resolved as new $response. So no need to call `ResponseFactoryInterface` - If parameter is annotated by `Body` attribute, it will be resolved by `body` property of request. Also it could be parsed as JSON if its type is `array`. Reverse Router -------------- [](#reverse-router) The route path can be generated by route name and params. ### Health Score 36 — LowBetter than 82% of packages Maintenance59 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity14 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity54 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
