The package provides a convention-based router middleware that chooses controller based on its namespace and class name.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.1 or higher.

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

[](#installation)

The package could be installed with [Composer](https://getcomposer.org):

```
composer require yiisoft/file-router
```

General usage
-------------

[](#general-usage)

1. Add `\Yiisoft\FileRouter\FileRouter` to the list of middlewares in your application configuration, `web/params.php`:

    ```
    return [
        'middlewares' => [
            // ...
            Router::class,
            \Yiisoft\FileRouter\FileRouter::class,
            // or
            [
                'class' => FileRouter::class,
                'withNamespace()' => ['App'],
                'withBaseControllerDirectory()' => ['Controller'],
            ],
            // ...
        ]
    ];
    ```
2. [Configure the file router](docs/guide/en#configuration) for your needs.

> Note: `FileRouter` goes after regular `Router` to serve as a fallback in case explicitly defined route is not found.

By default, the following structure of the app could be used assuming `App` points to `src` directory:

```
src
  Controller
    User
      Profile
        IndexController.php
      BlogController.php
    UserController.php
    IndexController.php

```

Here's how it works:

- `GET /` → `IndexController::index()`
- `GET /user` → `UserController::index()`
- `POST /user` → `UserController::create()`
- `GET /user/blog/view` → `User/BlogController::view()`
- `GET /user/profile` → `User/Profile/IndexController::index()`
