phoutes - Simple PHP routes Handler

##How to run:

clone the script:

git clone https://github.com/ghostffcode/phoutes.git

And navigate to the public directory in the phoutes folder with your browser, mine is:

http://localhost/phoutes/public

You might want to create a virtual host in your dev environment for the css and javascript files to be loaded.

Adding Route Handler

open phoutes/App/routes.php in your favorite code editor and create a new route using:

// get route handler
$route->get('/home', function() {
 echo "I got Home";
});

// post route handler
$route->post('/home', function() {
 echo "I got a post request";
});

// update route handler
$route->update('/home', function() {
 echo "I got an update request";
});

// delete route handler
$route->post('/home', function() {
 echo "I got a delete request";
});

// all route handler, for any request type
$route->all('/home', function() {
 echo "I can handle all request types";
});

To handle url variables:

// the variable in the url is :user
$route->get('/user/:user/', function($user) {
  echo $user;
});

try it out visit:

http://localhost/phoutes/public/user/Bliss

The page echoes out: Bliss

Using Controllers in routes

You can add a new controller in phoutes/App/Controllers/ directory (name of controller needs to match the controller class name)

To use a controller, prefix the class instance name with 'ctrl'

// create a get route that take a url variable user and passes it to the Profile controller
$route->get('/:user/', function($user) {
  // sample use of a controller
 $profile = new ctrlProfile();
 $profile->name($user);
});

Rendering a view file

The view directory is "Phoutes/App/Views/" You can place your html or php files in that directory

To render a view file in your code, use

view::render($filename, $data);

The static view method, takes two arguments:

The first is the view file name Eg. index or user/profile (Default is index).
The second (optional) is the data to be passed into the view file.

Example of rendering a view file:

$route->all('/', function () {
  view::render('profile');  // renders profile.php file
});

Fixes

v1.1
- The arguments of a callback function of a route with route Parameters can be in any order.
