Here's a sample of how you'd usually use dispatch.
<?php
require 'path/to/dispatch.php';
# sample JSON end point
route('GET', '/books.json', function ($db, $config) {
$list = loadAllBooks($db);
$json = json_encode($list);
return response($json, 200, ['content-type' => 'application/json']);
});
# html end point
route('GET', '/books/:id', function ($args, $db) {
$book = loadBookById($db, $args['id']);
$html = phtml(__DIR__.'/views/book', ['book' => $book]);
return response($html);
});
# respond using a template
route('GET', '/about', page(__DIR__.'/views/about'));
# sample dependencies
$config = require __DIR__.'/config.php';
$db = createDBConnection($config['db']);
# arguments you pass here get forwarded to the route actions
dispatch($db, $config);If you want to see where all the state goes, you can use action and serve.
<?php
require 'path/to/dispatch.php';
# create a stack of actions
$routes = [
action('GET', '/books.json', function ($db, $config) {
$list = loadAllBooks($db);
$json = json_encode($list);
return response($json, 200, ['content-type' => 'application/json']);
}),
action('GET', '/books/:id', function ($args, $db) {
$book = loadBookById($db, $args['id']);
$html = phtml(__DIR__.'/views/book', ['book' => $book]);
return response($html);
}),
action('GET', '/about', page(__DIR__.'/views/about'))
];
# sample dependencies
$config = require __DIR__.'/config.php';
$db = createDBConnection($config['db']);
# we need the method and requested path
$verb = $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'],
$path = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],
# serve app against verb + path, pass dependencies
$responder = serve($routes, $verb, $path, $db, $config);
# invoke responder to flush response
$responder();Tests for dispatch use plain assertions.
