Informations about the package routing
Routing
The icanboogie/routing package handles URL rewriting in native PHP. A Request is mapped to a Route, which in turn is mapped to a Responder. If the process is successful a response is returned. Events are emitted along the way to allow listeners to alter the request or the response, or recover from failure.
The following example is an overview of request processing. The routing components are part of the stack of responder providers.
Installation
A route
A route is represented with a Route instance. Two parameters are required to create an instance:
pattern
and action
. pattern
is the pattern to match or generate a URL. action
is an
identifier for an action, which can be used to match with a Responder.
The route pattern
A pattern is used to match a URL with a route. Placeholders may be used to match multiple URL to a single route and extract its parameters. Three types of placeholder are available:
-
Relaxed placeholder: Only the name of the parameter is specified, it matches anything until the following part. e.g.
/articles/:id/edit
. -
Constrained placeholder: A regular expression is used to match the parameter value. e.g.
/articles/<id:\d+>/edit
where<id:\d+>
is the placeholder for theid
parameter which value must matches/^\d+$/
. - Anonymous constrained placeholder: Same as the constrained placeholder, except the parameter has
no name but an index e.g.
/articles/<\d+>/edit
where<\d+>
in a placeholder which index is 0.
Additionally, the joker character *
—which can only be used at the end of a pattern—matches
anything. e.g. /articles/123*
matches /articles/123
and /articles/123456
as well.
Finally, constraints RegExp are extended with the following:
{:sha1:}
: Matches SHA-1 hashes. e.g./files/<hash:{:sha1:}>
.{:uuid:}
: Matches Universally unique identifiers (UUID). e.g./articles/<uuid:{:uuid:}>/edit
.
You can use them in any combination:
/blog/:year-:month-:slug
/blog/<year:\d{4}>-<month:\d{2}>-:slug
/images/<uuid:{:uuid:}>/<size:\d+x|x\d+|\d+x\d+>*
Route providers
Route providers are used to find the route that matches a predicate. Simple route providers are often decorated with more sophisticated ones that can improve performance.
Here is an overview of a route provider usage, details are available in the Route Providers documentation.
Responding to a request
A request can be dispatched to a matching Responder provided a route matches the request URI and method.
Controllers
Previous examples demonstrated how closures could be used to handle routes. Closures are perfectly fine when you start building your application, but as soon as it grows, you might want to use controller classes instead to better organize your application. You can map each route to its ActionTrait to group related HTTP request handling logic into a single controller.
Controller response
When invoked, the controller should return a result, or null
if it can't handle the request.
The result of the action()
method is handled by the __invoke()
method: if the result is a
Response instance, it is returned as is; if the Response instance attached to the
controller has been initialized (through the $this->response
getter, for instance), the result
is used as the body of the response; otherwise, the result is returned as is.
Before the action is executed
Controller\BeforeActionEvent is emitted before the action()
method is invoked. Listeners may
provide a response and thus cancel the action. Event hooks may also use this event to alter the
controller before the action is executed.
After the action is executed
Controller\ActionEvent is emitted after the action()
method was invoked. Listeners may alter
the result of the method.
Basic controllers
Basic controllers extend from ControllerAbstract and must implement the action()
method.
[!NOTE] The
action()
method is invoked from within the controller, by the__invoke()
method, and is better defined as protected. The__invoke()
method is final, thus can't be overridden.
Although any class implementing __invoke()
is suitable as a controller, it is recommended to
extend ControllerAbstract as it makes accessing your application features much easier. Also, you
might benefit from prototype methods and event hooks attached to the ControllerAbstract class,
such as the view
property added by the icanboogie/view package.
The following properties are provided by the ControllerAbstract class:
name
: The name of the controller, extracted from its class name e.g.articles_delete
.request
: The request being dispatched.route
: The route being dispatched.
Action controllers
Here is an example of an action controller, details are available in the Action controllers documentation.
Exceptions
The exceptions defined by the package implement the ICanBoogie\Routing\Exception
interface,
so that they're easy to recognize:
The following exceptions are defined:
- ActionNotDefined: Thrown when an action is not defined, for instance when a route handled
by a controller using ActionTrait has an empty
action
property. - InvalidPattern: Thrown when trying to define a route without a pattern.
Continuous Integration
The project is continuously tested by GitHub actions.
