Download the PHP package muoi/klein without Composer

Klein.php

klein.php is a fast & flexible router for PHP 5.3+

• Flexible regular expression routing (inspired by Sinatra)
• A set of boilerplate methods for rapidly building web apps
• Almost no overhead => 2500+ requests/second

Getting started

1. PHP 5.3.x is required
2. Install Klein using Composer (recommended) or manually
3. Setup URL rewriting so that all requests are handled by index.php
4. (Optional) Throw in some APC for good measure

Composer Installation

1. Get Composer
2. Require Klein with php composer.phar require klein/klein
3. Add the following to your application's main PHP file: require 'vendor/autoload.php';

Example

Hello World - Obligatory hello world example

Example 1 - Respond to all requests

Example 2 - Named parameters

Example 3 - So RESTful

Example 4 - Sending objects / files

Example 5 - All together

Route namespaces

Included files are run in the scope of Klein ($klein) so all Klein methods/properties can be accessed with $this

Example file for: "controllers/projects.php"

Lazy services

Services can be stored lazily, meaning that they are only instantiated on first use.

Validators

To add a custom validator use addValidator($method, $callback)

You can validate parameters using is<$method>() or not<$method>(), e.g.

Or you can validate any string using the same flow..

Validation methods are chainable, and a custom exception message can be specified for if/when validation fails

Routing

[ match_type : param_name ]

Some examples

*                    // Match all request URIs
[i]                  // Match an integer
[i:id]               // Match an integer as 'id'
[a:action]           // Match alphanumeric characters as 'action'
[h:key]              // Match hexadecimal characters as 'key'
[:action]            // Match anything up to the next / or end of the URI as 'action'
[create|edit:action] // Match either 'create' or 'edit' as 'action'
[*]                  // Catch all (lazy)
[*:trailing]         // Catch all as 'trailing' (lazy)
[**:trailing]        // Catch all (possessive - will match the rest of the URI)
.[:format]?          // Match an optional parameter 'format' - a / or . before the block is also optional

Some more complicated examples

/posts/[*:title][i:id]     // Matches "/posts/this-is-a-title-123"
/output.[xml|json:format]? // Matches "/output", "output.xml", "output.json"
/[:controller]?/[:action]? // Matches the typical /controller/action format

Note - all routes that match the request URI are called - this allows you to incorporate complex conditional logic such as user authentication or view layouts. e.g. as a basic example, the following code will wrap other routes with a header and footer

Routes automatically match the entire request URI. If you need to match only a part of the request URI or use a custom regular expression, use the @ operator. If you need to negate a route, use the ! operator

Views

You can send properties or helpers to the view by assigning them to the $service object, or by using the second arg of $service->render()

myview.phtml

Views are compiled and run in the scope of $service so all service methods can be accessed with $this

API

Below is a list of the public methods in the common classes you will most likely use. For a more formal source of class/method documentation, please see the PHPdoc generated documentation.

Unit Testing

Unit tests are a crucial part of developing a routing engine such as Klein. Added features or bug-fixes can have adverse effects that are hard to find without a lot of testing, hence the importance of unit testing.

This project uses PHPUnit as its unit testing framework.

The tests all live in /tests and each test extends an abstract class AbstractKleinTest

To test the project, simply run php composer.phar install --dev to download a common version of PHPUnit with composer and run the tests from the main directory with ./vendor/bin/phpunit
