Minimal PHP Request Router
==========================

[](#minimal-php-request-router)

Every professional web developer knows handling request routing can be a pain in the \*\*\*. I sometimes **wished** there could be an excessively lightweight library which handles request routing. So I wasn't forced to load Laravel or even Lumen to do so. This repository contains my solution for my own problem but I think others will find it useful too.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require underdash/router
```

Using Closures
--------------

[](#using-closures)

```
use Underdash\Router;

Router::get('/', function() {
  return "Welcome to my blog!";
});

Router::dispatch();
```

Using Controllers
-----------------

[](#using-controllers)

```
use Underdash\Router;

class PagesController {
    public static function index(){
        return "Welcome from controller!";
    }
}

Router::get('/', 'PagesController@index');

Router::dispatch();
```

Minimal Wildcard Support
------------------------

[](#minimal-wildcard-support)

```
use Underdash\Router;

Router::get('/user/{name}', function($name) {
  return "You are probably {$name}, and I know it!";
});

Router::dispatch();
```

Working with POST params made easy
----------------------------------

[](#working-with-post-params-made-easy)

```
use Underdash\Router;

Router::post('register', function() {
  $name = arg('name');
  return "Thanks for registering in our web service, {$name}";
});

Router::dispatch();
```
