Fastpress Router

The Fastpress Router is a powerful and flexible routing system for PHP applications. It provides a simple and intuitive way to define routes, handle HTTP requests, and manage the flow of your web application.

Features

• Support for multiple HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, OPTIONS, HEAD)
• Route parameters with custom patterns
• Named routes for easy URL generation
• Route groups for shared attributes
• Middleware support
• Route constraints
• Optional parameters
• Conflict detection to prevent ambiguous routes

Installation

To use the Fastpress Router in your project, you can include it in your PHP files:

use Fastpress\Routing\Router;

require_once 'path/to/Router.php';

Basic Usage

Defining Routes

$router = new Router();

// Define a simple GET route
$router->get('/hello', function() {
    echo "Hello, World!";
});

// Define a POST route with parameters
$router->post('/users/{id}', 'UserController@update');

Matching Routes

$match = $router->match($_SERVER, $_POST);

if ($match) {
    $handler = $match['handler'];
    $params = $match['params'];
    
    // Execute the handler with the matched parameters
    // ...
} else {
    // No matching route found
    // Handle 404 Not Found
}

Advanced Usage

Route Groups

$router->group(['prefix' => 'admin', 'middleware' => ['auth']], function($router) {
    $router->get('/dashboard', 'AdminController@dashboard');
    $router->get('/users', 'AdminController@users');
});

Named Routes

$router->get('/profile/{id}', 'ProfileController@show')->name('profile.show');

// Generate URL for named route
$url = $router->getNamedRoute('profile.show', ['id' => 123]);

Custom Route Parameters

$router->addPattern('uuid', '[0-9a-f]{8}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{12}');

$router->get('/users/{uuid}', 'UserController@show');

Middleware

$router->get('/admin/dashboard', 'AdminController@dashboard')
    ->middleware('auth');

Route Constraints

$router->get('/users/{id}', 'UserController@show')
    ->where(['id' => '\d+']);
