FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package router
Router
The PHPico Router is probably the smallest fully featured PHP Router for web applications ever built.
It's intended for use with light applications. Even for embbeded uses like Raspberrypi.
Disclaimer: This class could be very useful for absolute noobs. You could learn A LOT just seeing this library code. Model View Controller is totally encouraged and is piece of cake if you know how to use this router. I promise, just one class, just a few lines (Less than 100).
Features
- Very light
- Intended to be fast
- Manage GET, POST... types for your request
- REGEXP based
- Configuration as array
- Callbacks allowed
Example code
The next example shows what you can do with this router.
Regular Expressions
You can use PCRE. The only rule is that any REGEXP is launched as if it has so you don't need to add the first/end delimiter and the first/end slashes.
The basic route
There are multiple ways to create a route. But the basic one is this:
HomeController is an example class in the main namespace. You should add the namespaces if there are any. If you have newer PHP versions you could use
The callback route
You can use any callable to be used as destination. For example this anonymous function:
As you can see you can add params in order to get the capture of the REGEXP. Means capture any character, zero or more times. Then just add the var to recover this capture.
HTTP Request type segmentation
By default any route unless specified will allow any type of request. But you can segment the route for one or more specific requests. For example:
This means that any request to the / path will return false unless you make a POST request.
You can even add more than one option, like:
Handling 404
The router component will return false if the route is not found. Simple and effective.
Have any idea on how to improve?
If you have any idea of how to improve this library you're welcome to submit a pull request with your improvement or fix. Remember that the idea is to keep the codebase the smallest possible.
