[![PHP Version](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/6da9704adc310b64eea60cc463a5e5c8dd738da86ba6c3e2af0cfd4600621755/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f62616467652f7068702d253545382e302d626c75652e737667)](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/6da9704adc310b64eea60cc463a5e5c8dd738da86ba6c3e2af0cfd4600621755/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f62616467652f7068702d253545382e302d626c75652e737667) Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 8.0 or higher Features -------- [](#features) - Simple and intuitive API - Support for ( GET / POST / PUT / PATCH / DELETE ) requests - Dynamic route parameters - Support for parameters rules - Easy to integrate and extend - Support for named routes - Support for controllers - Support for middlewares Installation ------------ [](#installation) Run this command to install the library: ``` composer require yahyamallak/masar ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) ### 1. Basic Setup [](#1-basic-setup) ``` require_once dirname(__DIR__) . "/vendor/autoload.php"; use Masar\Exceptions\NotFoundException; use Masar\Http\Request; use Masar\Routing\Router; $router = new Router(); // Define routes $router->get('/', function() { return "Welcome to the homepage!"; }); $router->get('/about', function() { return "About us page"; }); $router->post('/submit', function() { return "Form submitted"; }); $router->put('/users/{id}/change', function($id) { return "User " . $id . " has been edited."; }); $router->patch('/users/{id}/edit', function($id) { return "edit name of user : " . $id; }); $router->delete('/users/{id}/delete', function($id) { return "delete user " . $id; }); // Create a request object $request = new Request(); // Dispatch the router try { $router->dispatch($request); } catch (NotFoundException $e) { echo $e->getMessage(); } ``` ### 2. Using Route Parameters [](#2-using-route-parameters) You can define dynamic segments in your routes using curly braces: ``` $router->get('/user/{id}', function($id) { return "User profile for user with ID: " . $id; }); $router->get('/post/{slug}', function($slug) { return "Displaying post: " . $slug; }); ``` ### 3. Using Where For Parameters Rules [](#3-using-where-for-parameters-rules) #### Supported Rules : [](#supported-rules-) - ":digit" - ":number" - ":letter" - ":word" - ":slug" ``` $router->get('/user/{id}', function($id) { return "User profile for user with ID: " . $id; })->where(["id" => ":number"]); ``` ### 4. Using Named Routes [](#4-using-named-routes) #### naming the route : [](#naming-the-route-) ``` $router->get('/users', function() { return "All users."; })->name("users"); ``` #### getting the route name : [](#getting-the-route-name-) ``` use Masar\Routing\Route; Route::get("users"); ``` ### 5. Using Controllers [](#5-using-controllers) #### Before using controllers you need to go through some quick steps to tell the router where to find them. [](#before-using-controllers-you-need-to-go-through-some-quick-steps-to-tell-the-router-where-to-find-them) #### Step 1 : Create a config file or just an array with some configuration. [](#step-1--create-a-config-file-or-just-an-array-with-some-configuration) You create an associative array with keys ( controllers | middlewares ) and as values you put their namespaces. ``` $config = [ "controllers" => "App\Controllers", "middlewares" => "App\Middlewares" ]; ``` #### Step 2 : You pass the configuration to the router. [](#step-2--you-pass-the-configuration-to-the-router) All you got to do is to give the config array to the router and it will handle the rest. ``` $router = new Router($config); ``` #### Step 3 : You define the routes with controllers [](#step-3--you-define-the-routes-with-controllers) ##### Example 1 : [](#example-1-) ``` $router->get('/profile/{id}', [UserController::class, "index"]); ``` ##### Example 2 : [](#example-2-) ``` $router->patch('/posts/{id}/edit', "PostController@edit"); ``` ### 6. Using Middlewares [](#6-using-middlewares) ``` $router->get("/admin", function() { return "Admin dahsboard."; })->middleware("auth"); ``` ### 7. Using route grouping [](#7-using-route-grouping) Example 1 : ``` $router->middleware("auth")->group(function() use($router) { $router->get("/", [HomeController::class, "index"]); $router->get("/about", [AboutController::class, "index"]); }); ``` Example 2 : ``` $router->middleware(["auth", "role"])->group(function() use($router) { $router->get("/", [HomeController::class, "index"]); $router->get("/profile", [UserController::class, "profile"]); }); ``` Example 3 : ``` $router->prefix("admin")->group(function() use($router) { $router->get("/", [AdminController::class, "index"]); $router->get("/settings", [AdminController::class, "settings"]); }); ``` Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) Contributions are welcome!
