Install via composer

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Example

[](#example)

```
// index.php

use PatrikMokry\Router;

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

Router::get('example', function() {
    return 'This route responds to requests with the GET method at the path /example';
});
Router::get('example/{id}', function($id) {
    return 'This route responds to requests with the GET method at the path /example/';
});
Router::get('example/{id}?', function() {
    return 'This route responds to requests with the GET method at the path /example/[optional]';
});
Router::post('example', function() {
    return 'This route responds to requests with the POST method at the path /example';
});

Router::execute(__DIR__);
```

```
// .htaccess

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l

RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php [QSA,L]
```

### Defining Routes

[](#defining-routes)

```
use PatrikMokry\Router;

Router::get($route, $action);
Router::post($route, $action);
Router::put($route, $action);
Router::delete($route, $action);
Router::any($route, $action);
```

> These helper methods are wrappers around `route($route, $action, $method = ["POST", "GET"])`
> Neither `$_PUT` nor `$_DELETE` does not exist so in your request you must define field with name `_method`

### Regex Shortcuts

[](#regex-shortcuts)

```
:i => (\d+)   # numbers only
:s => (\w+)   # any word, character

use in routes:

'/user/{name::i}'
'/user/{name::s}'

```

##### Custom shortcuts

[](#custom-shortcuts)

```
Router::addShortcut(name, regex)

// create shortcut with default value
Router::addShortcut('locale', '(sk|en)->sk)')
```

### Named Routes for Reverse Routing

[](#named-routes-for-reverse-routing)

```
Router::get('example/{id}', function() {
	return 'example';
})->name('example');

echo Router::link('example', ['id' => 48]) // example/48
```

### Prefix Groups

[](#prefix-groups)

```
// If you need some prefix e.g. admin, api, locale, ...

Router::prefix('admin/', function() {
	Router::get('example/{id}', function() {
		return 'example';
	});
});
```
