Simple, fast and yet powerful PHP router that is easy to get integrated and in any project. Heavily inspired by the way Laravel handles routing, with both simplicity and expand-ability in mind.
With simple-router you can create a new project fast, without depending on a framework.
It only takes a few lines of code to get started:
SimpleRouter::get('/', function() {
return 'Hello world';
});This is a fork of the router which brings a lot of bugfixes and features.
Sadly the main project is no longer maintained.
We updated the project to require php 8!
If you like simple-router and wish to see the continued development and maintenance of the project, please consider showing your support by buying me a coffee. Supporters will be listed under the credits section of this documentation.

Add the latest version of the simple-router project running this command.
composer require developermarius/simple-router
I completely reworked the InputHandler. Input parameters from the request body will no longer be found in the $this->input()->post() function but in the $this->input()->data() function. Watch out for the other changes.
The helper functions were moved into a trait. Take a look at the documentation.
If you have any further questions or found a bug, please create an issue or pull request.
The goal of this project is to create a router that is more or less 100% compatible with the Laravel documentation, while remaining as simple as possible, and as easy to integrate and change without compromising either speed or complexity. Being lightweight is the #1 priority.
We've included a simple demo project for the router which can be found here. This project should give you a basic understanding of how to setup and use simple-php-router project.
Please note that the demo-project only covers how to integrate the simple-php-router in a project without an existing framework. If you are using a framework in your project, the implementation might vary.
You can find the demo-project here: https://github.com/skipperbent/simple-router-demo

If you are using Nginx please make sure that url-rewriting is enabled.
You can easily enable url-rewriting by adding the following configuration for the Nginx configuration-file for the demo-project.
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
Nothing special is required for Apache to work. We've include the .htaccess file in the public folder. If rewriting is not working for you, please check that the mod_rewrite module (htaccess support) is enabled in the Apache configuration.
Below is an example of an working .htaccess file used by simple-php-router.
Simply create a new .htaccess file in your projects public directory and paste the contents below in your newly created file. This will redirect all requests to your index.php file (see Configuration section below).
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1
On IIS you have to add some lines your web.config file in the public folder or create a new one. If rewriting is not working for you, please check that your IIS version have included the url rewrite module or download and install them from Microsoft web site.
Below is an example of an working web.config file used by simple-php-router.
Simply create a new web.config file in your projects public directory and paste the contents below in your newly created file. This will redirect all requests to your index.php file (see Configuration section below). If the web.config file already exists, add the <rewrite> section inside the <system.webServer> branch.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<!-- Remove slash '/' from the en of the url -->
<rule name="RewriteRequestsToPublic">
<match url="^(.*)$" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false">
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="/{R:0}" />
</rule>
<!-- When requested file or folder don't exists, will request again through index.php -->
<rule name="Imported Rule 1" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^(.*)$" ignoreCase="true" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="/index.php/{R:1}" appendQueryString="true" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>If you do not have a favicon.ico file in your project, you can get a NotFoundHttpException (404 - not found).
To add favicon.ico to the IIS ignore-list, add the following line to the <conditions> group:
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" negate="true" pattern="favicon.ico" ignoreCase="true" />
You can also make one exception for files with some extensions:
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" pattern="\.ico|\.png|\.css|\.jpg" negate="true" ignoreCase="true" />
If you are using $_SERVER['ORIG_PATH_INFO'], you will get \index.php\ as part of the returned value.
Example:
/index.php/test/mypage.php
Create a new file, name it routes.php and place it in your library folder. This will be the file where you define all the routes for your project.
WARNING: NEVER PLACE YOUR ROUTES.PHP IN YOUR PUBLIC FOLDER!
In your index.php require your newly-created routes.php and call the SimpleRouter::start() method. This will trigger and do the actual routing of the requests.
It's not required, but you can set SimpleRouter::setDefaultNamespace('\Demo\Controllers'); to prefix all routes with the namespace to your controllers. This will simplify things a bit, as you won't have to specify the namespace for your controllers on each route.
This is an example of a basic index.php file:
<?php
use Pecee\SimpleRouter\SimpleRouter;
/* Load external routes file */
require_once 'routes.php';
/**
* The default namespace for route-callbacks, so we don't have to specify it each time.
* Can be overwritten by using the namespace config option on your routes.
*/
SimpleRouter::setDefaultNamespace('\Demo\Controllers');
// Start the routing
SimpleRouter::start();We recommend that you add these helper functions to your project. These will allow you to access functionality of the router more easily.
Just add the trait to your controller classes:
class ArticleController{
use \Pecee\SimpleRouter\RouterUtils;
public function create(){
$data = $this->input()->values();
[...]
}
}If you are not in a controller class, you can still access the InputHandler like this:
SimpleRouter::request()->getInputHandler()->values();
Remember the routes.php file you required in your index.php? This file be where you place all your custom rules for routing.
Below is a very basic example of setting up a route. First parameter is the url which the route should match - next parameter is a Closure or callback function that will be triggered once the route matches.
SimpleRouter::get('/', function() {
return 'Hello world';
});You can use class hinting to load a class & method like this:
SimpleRouter::get('/', [MyClass::class, 'myMethod']);Here you can see a list over all available routes:
SimpleRouter::get($url, $callback, $settings);
SimpleRouter::post($url, $callback, $settings);
SimpleRouter::put($url, $callback, $settings);
SimpleRouter::patch($url, $callback, $settings);
SimpleRouter::delete($url, $callback, $settings);
SimpleRouter::options($url, $callback, $settings);Sometimes you might need to create a route that accepts multiple HTTP-verbs. If you need to match all HTTP-verbs you can use the any method.
SimpleRouter::match(['get', 'post'], '/', function() {
// ...
});
SimpleRouter::any('foo', function() {
// ...
});We've created a simple method which matches GET and POST which is most commonly used:
SimpleRouter::form('foo', function() {
// ...
});You'll properly wondering by know how you parse parameters from your urls. For example, you might want to capture the users id from an url. You can do so by defining route-parameters.
SimpleRouter::get('/user/{id}', function ($userId) {
return 'User with id: ' . $userId;
});You may define as many route parameters as required by your route:
SimpleRouter::get('/posts/{post}/comments/{comment}', function ($postId, $commentId) {
// ...
});Note: Route parameters are always encased within { } braces and should consist of alphabetic characters. Route parameters can only contain certain characters like A-Z, a-z, 0-9, - and _.
If your route contain other characters, please see Custom regex for matching parameters.
Occasionally you may need to specify a route parameter, but make the presence of that route parameter optional. You may do so by placing a ? mark after the parameter name. Make sure to give the route's corresponding variable a default value:
SimpleRouter::get('/user/{name?}', function ($name = null) {
return $name;
});
SimpleRouter::get('/user/{name?}', function ($name = 'Simon') {
return $name;
});You may constrain the format of your route parameters using the where method on a route instance. The where method accepts the name of the parameter and a regular expression defining how the parameter should be constrained:
SimpleRouter::get('/user/{name}', function ($name) {
// ... do stuff
})->where([ 'name' => '[A-Za-z]+' ]);
SimpleRouter::get('/user/{id}', function ($id) {
// ... do stuff
})->where([ 'id' => '[0-9]+' ]);
SimpleRouter::get('/user/{id}/{name}', function ($id, $name) {
// ... do stuff
})->where(['id' => '[0-9]+', 'name' => '[a-z]+']);You can define a regular-expression match for the entire route if you wish.
This is useful if you for example are creating a model-box which loads urls from ajax.
The example below is using the following regular expression: /ajax/([\w]+)/?([0-9]+)?/? which basically just matches /ajax/ and exspects the next parameter to be a string - and the next to be a number (but optional).
Matches: /ajax/abc/, /ajax/abc/123/
Won't match: /ajax/
Match groups specified in the regex will be passed on as parameters:
SimpleRouter::all('/ajax/abc/123', function($param1, $param2) {
// param1 = abc
// param2 = 123
})->setMatch('/\/ajax\/([\w]+)\/?([0-9]+)?\/?/is');By default simple-php-router uses the [\w\-]+ regular expression. It will match A-Z, a-z, 0-9, - and _ characters in parameters.
This decision was made with speed and reliability in mind, as this match will match both letters, number and most of the used symbols on the internet.
However, sometimes it can be necessary to add a custom regular expression to match more advanced characters like foreign letters æ ø å etc.
You can test your custom regular expression by using on the site Regex101.com.
Instead of adding a custom regular expression to all your parameters, you can simply add a global regular expression which will be used on all the parameters on the route.
Note: If you the regular expression to be available across, we recommend using the global parameter on a group as demonstrated in the examples below.
This example will ensure that all parameters use the [\w\-\æ\ø\å]+ (a-z, A-Z, -, _, 0-9, æ, ø, å) regular expression when parsing.
SimpleRouter::get('/path/{parameter}', 'VideoController@home', ['defaultParameterRegex' => '[\w\-\æ\ø\å]+']);You can also apply this setting to a group if you need multiple routes to use your custom regular expression when parsing parameters.
SimpleRouter::group(['defaultParameterRegex' => '[\w\-\æ\ø\å]+'], function() {
SimpleRouter::get('/path/{parameter}', 'VideoController@home');
});Named routes allow the convenient generation of URLs or redirects for specific routes. You may specify a name for a route by chaining the name method onto the route definition:
SimpleRouter::get('/user/profile', function () {
// Your code here
})->name('profile');You can also specify names for Controller-actions:
SimpleRouter::get('/user/profile', 'UserController@profile')->name('profile');Once you have assigned a name to a given route, you may use the route's name when generating URLs or redirects via the global url helper-function (see helpers section):
// Generating URLs...
$url = url('profile');If the named route defines parameters, you may pass the parameters as the second argument to the url function. The given parameters will automatically be inserted into the URL in their correct positions:
SimpleRouter::get('/user/{id}/profile', function ($id) {
//
})->name('profile');
$url = url('profile', ['id' => 1]);For more information on urls, please see the Urls section.
Route groups allow you to share route attributes, such as middleware or namespaces, across a large number of routes without needing to define those attributes on each individual route. Shared attributes are specified in an array format as the first parameter to the SimpleRouter::group method.
To assign middleware to all routes within a group, you may use the middleware key in the group attribute array. Middleware are executed in the order they are listed in the array:
SimpleRouter::group(['middleware' => \Demo\Middleware\Auth::class], function () {
SimpleRouter::get('/', function () {
// Uses Auth Middleware
});
SimpleRouter::get('/user/profile', function () {
// Uses Auth Middleware
});
});Another common use-case for route groups is assigning the same PHP namespace to a group of controllers using the namespace parameter in the group array:
Group namespaces will only be added to routes with relative callbacks.
For example if your route has an absolute callback like \Demo\Controller\DefaultController@home, the namespace from the route will not be prepended.
To fix this you can make the callback relative by removing the \ in the beginning of the callback.
SimpleRouter::group(['namespace' => 'Admin'], function () {
// Controllers Within The "App\Http\Controllers\Admin" Namespace
});You can add parameters to the prefixes of your routes.
Parameters from your previous routes will be injected into your routes after any route-required parameters, starting from oldest to newest.
SimpleRouter::group(['prefix' => '/lang/{lang}'], function ($language) {
SimpleRouter::get('/about', function($language) {
// Will match /lang/da/about
});
});Route groups may also be used to handle sub-domain routing. Sub-domains may be assigned route parameters just like route urls, allowing you to capture a portion of the sub-domain for usage in your route or controller. The sub-domain may be specified using the domain key on the group attribute array:
SimpleRouter::group(['domain' => '{account}.myapp.com'], function () {
SimpleRouter::get('/user/{id}', function ($account, $id) {
//
});
});The prefix group attribute may be used to prefix each route in the group with a given url. For example, you may want to prefix all route urls within the group with admin:
SimpleRouter::group(['prefix' => '/admin'], function () {
SimpleRouter::get('/users', function () {
// Matches The "/admin/users" URL
});
});You can also use parameters in your groups:
SimpleRouter::group(['prefix' => '/lang/{language}'], function ($language) {
SimpleRouter::get('/users', function ($language) {
// Matches The "/lang/da/users" URL
});
});or use the shorthand if you don't want to pass additional settings:
SimpleRouter::group('/lang/{language}', function ($language) {
SimpleRouter::get('/users', function ($language) {
// Matches The "/lang/da/users" URL
});
});HTML forms do not support PUT, PATCH or DELETE actions. So, when defining PUT, PATCH or DELETE routes that are called from an HTML form, you will need to add a hidden _method field to the form. The value sent with the _method field will be used as the HTTP request method:
<input type="hidden" name="_method" value="PUT" />You can access information about the current route loaded by using the following method:
SimpleRouter::request()->getLoadedRoute();
request()->getLoadedRoute();You can find many more examples in the routes.php example-file below:
<?php
use Pecee\SimpleRouter\SimpleRouter;
/* Adding custom csrfVerifier here */
SimpleRouter::csrfVerifier(new \Demo\Middlewares\CsrfVerifier());
SimpleRouter::group(['middleware' => \Demo\Middlewares\Site::class, 'exceptionHandler' => \Demo\Handlers\CustomExceptionHandler::class], function() {
SimpleRouter::get('/answers/{id}', 'ControllerAnswers@show', ['where' => ['id' => '[0-9]+']]);
/**
* Class hinting is supported too
*/
SimpleRouter::get('/answers/{id}', [ControllerAnswers::class, 'show'], ['where' => ['id' => '[0-9]+']]);
/**
* Restful resource (see IRestController interface for available methods)
*/
SimpleRouter::resource('/rest', ControllerResource::class);
/**
* Load the entire controller (where url matches method names - getIndex(), postIndex(), putIndex()).
* The url paths will determine which method to render.
*
* For example:
*
* GET /animals => getIndex()
* GET /animals/view => getView()
* POST /animals/save => postSave()
*
* etc.
*/
SimpleRouter::controller('/animals', ControllerAnimals::class);
});
SimpleRouter::get('/page/404', 'ControllerPage@notFound', ['as' => 'page.notfound']);By default the validation will throw InputValidationException. To disable this behavior use:
InputValidator::setThrowExceptions(false);
For all validation functionality we used the project somnambulist-tech/validation. Big thanks to @dave-redfern! You can read his documentation for a more details.
For our purpose we put his validation Factory into the wrapper function InputValidator. You can get started by:
InputValidator::make()->setRules([
'title' => 'string|min:3|max:200',
'description' => 'string|min:20|max:500'
])->validateData(array(
'title' => 'Example title',
'description' => 'This is an example description.'
))->passes();You can easily access the Validation Factory to change the language or add a custom rule:
use \Pecee\Http\Input\InputValidator;
InputValidator::getFactory()->messages()->default('de');
InputValidator::getFactory()->addRule('example', new ExampleRule());- For the main purpose of input validation we always automatically add
requiredto the rules ifnullableis not present.
It is possible to enable the validation attribute parsing with \Pecee\Http\Input\InputValidator::$parseAttributes = true;.
This helps to increase performance to those, who don't want to use the attributes for validation.
It is possible to use ValidatorAttributes in the Controller classes. Just add the php8 attribute above the function and all inputs defined will be validated & type cast to the defined type.
With $this->input()->requireAttributeValues() you can then receive all defined input parameters in the attributes.
Info: Routes will not be rendered when the validation fails.
You can also add ValidatorAttributes to the parameters passed threw the routes. This can be useful when you create a custom rule that for example checks if the object exists in your database (Not included in this project). The parameter name and type will automatically detected, if defined. Please either define the php type or pass the type using the constructor of the attribute
use Pecee\Http\Input\Attributes\ValidatorAttribute;
#[
ValidatorAttribute('title', 'string', 'min:3|max:200'),
ValidatorAttribute('description', 'string', 'min:20|max:500'),
]
public function createArticle(#[ValidatorAttribute(validator: 'model:User')] int $user){
$data = $this->input()->requireAttributeValues();
}Instead of using the php attributes, you can also add the validation to the route using the validateInputs() function.
TestRouter::get('/my/test/url', 'ArticleController@createArticle')
->validateInputs([
'title' => 'string|min:3|max:200',
'description' => 'string|min:20|max:500'
]);It is also possible to pass a InputValidator instance and take advantage of the rewriteCallbackOnFailure() function of the InputValidator objects.
Any forms posting to POST, PUT or DELETE routes should include the CSRF-token. We strongly recommend that you enable CSRF-verification on your site to maximize security.
You can use the BaseCsrfVerifier to enable CSRF-validation on all request. If you need to disable verification for specific urls, please refer to the "Custom CSRF-verifier" section below.
By default simple-php-router will use the CookieTokenProvider class. This provider will store the security-token in a cookie on the clients machine.
If you want to store the token elsewhere, please refer to the "Creating custom Token Provider" section below.
When you've created your CSRF-verifier you need to tell simple-php-router that it should use it. You can do this by adding the following line in your routes.php file:
SimpleRouter::csrfVerifier(new \Demo\Middlewares\CsrfVerifier());When posting to any of the urls that has CSRF-verification enabled, you need post your CSRF-token or else the request will get rejected.
You can get the CSRF-token by calling the helper method:
csrf_token();You can also get the token directly:
return SimpleRouter::router()->getCsrfVerifier()->getTokenProvider()->getToken();The default name/key for the input-field is csrf_token and is defined in the POST_KEY constant in the BaseCsrfVerifier class.
You can change the key by overwriting the constant in your own CSRF-verifier class.
Example:
The example below will post to the current url with a hidden field "csrf_token".
<form method="post" action="<?= url(); ?>">
<input type="hidden" name="csrf_token" value="<?= csrf_token(); ?>">
<!-- other input elements here -->
</form>Create a new class and extend the BaseCsrfVerifier middleware class provided by default with the simple-php-router library.
Add the property except with an array of the urls to the routes you want to exclude/whitelist from the CSRF validation.
Using * at the end for the url will match the entire url.
Here's a basic example on a CSRF-verifier class:
namespace Demo\Middlewares;
use Pecee\Http\Middleware\BaseCsrfVerifier;
class CsrfVerifier extends BaseCsrfVerifier
{
/**
* CSRF validation will be ignored on the following urls.
*/
protected $except = ['/api/*'];
}By default the BaseCsrfVerifier will use the CookieTokenProvider to store the token in a cookie on the clients machine.
If you need to store the token elsewhere, you can do that by creating your own class and implementing the ITokenProvider class.
class SessionTokenProvider implements ITokenProvider
{
/**
* Refresh existing token
*/
public function refresh(): void
{
// Implement your own functionality here...
}
/**
* Validate valid CSRF token
*
* @param string $token
* @return bool
*/
public function validate($token): bool
{
// Implement your own functionality here...
}
/**
* Get token token
*
* @param string|null $defaultValue
* @return string|null
*/
public function getToken(?string $defaultValue = null): ?string
{
// Implement your own functionality here...
}
}Next you need to set your custom ITokenProvider implementation on your BaseCsrfVerifier class in your routes file:
$verifier = new \Demo\Middlewares\CsrfVerifier();
$verifier->setTokenProvider(new SessionTokenProvider());
SimpleRouter::csrfVerifier($verifier);Middlewares are classes that loads before the route is rendered. A middleware can be used to verify that a user is logged in - or to set parameters specific for the current request/route. Middlewares must implement the IMiddleware interface.
namespace Demo\Middlewares;
use Pecee\Http\Middleware\IMiddleware;
use Pecee\Http\Request;
class CustomMiddleware implements IMiddleware {
public function handle(Request $request): void
{
// Authenticate user, will be available using request()->user
$request->user = User::authenticate();
// If authentication failed, redirect request to user-login page.
if($request->user === null) {
$request->setRewriteUrl(url('user.login'));
}
}
}ExceptionHandler are classes that handles all exceptions. ExceptionsHandlers must implement the IExceptionHandler interface.
If you simply want to catch a 404 (page not found) etc. you can use the SimpleRouter::error($callback) static helper method.
This will add a callback method which is fired whenever an error occurs on all routes.
The basic example below simply redirect the page to /not-found if an NotFoundHttpException (404) occurred.
The code should be placed in the file that contains your routes.
SimpleRouter::get('/not-found', 'PageController@notFound');
SimpleRouter::get('/forbidden', 'PageController@notFound');
SimpleRouter::error(function(Request $request, \Exception $exception) {
switch($exception->getCode()) {
// Page not found
case 404:
response()->redirect('/not-found');
// Forbidden
case 403:
response()->redirect('/forbidden');
}
});The example above will redirect all errors with http-code 404 (page not found) to /not-found and 403 (forbidden) to /forbidden.
If you do not want a redirect, but want the error-page rendered on the current-url, you can tell the router to execute a rewrite callback like so:
$request->setRewriteCallback('ErrorController@notFound');This is a basic example of an ExceptionHandler implementation (please see "Easily overwrite route about to be loaded" for examples on how to change callback).
namespace Demo\Handlers;
use Pecee\Http\Request;
use Pecee\SimpleRouter\Handlers\IExceptionHandler;
use Pecee\SimpleRouter\Exceptions\NotFoundHttpException;
class CustomExceptionHandler implements IExceptionHandler
{
public function handleError(Request $request, \Exception $error): void
{
/* You can use the exception handler to format errors depending on the request and type. */
if ($request->getUrl()->contains('/api')) {
response()->json([
'error' => $error->getMessage(),
'code' => $error->getCode(),
]);
}
/* The router will throw the NotFoundHttpException on 404 */
if($error instanceof NotFoundHttpException) {
// Render custom 404-page
$request->setRewriteCallback('Demo\Controllers\PageController@notFound');
return;
}
throw $error;
}
}You can add your custom exception-handler class to your group by using the exceptionHandler settings-attribute.
exceptionHandler can be either class-name or array of class-names.
SimpleRouter::group(['exceptionHandler' => \Demo\Handlers\CustomExceptionHandler::class], function() {
// Your routes here
});By default the router will merge exception-handlers to any handlers provided by parent groups, and will be executed in the order of newest to oldest.
If you want your groups exception handler to be executed independently, you can add the mergeExceptionHandlers attribute and set it to false.
SimpleRouter::group(['prefix' => '/', 'exceptionHandler' => \Demo\Handlers\FirstExceptionHandler::class, 'mergeExceptionHandlers' => false], function() {
SimpleRouter::group(['prefix' => '/admin', 'exceptionHandler' => \Demo\Handlers\SecondExceptionHandler::class], function() {
// Both SecondExceptionHandler and FirstExceptionHandler will trigger (in that order).
});
SimpleRouter::group(['prefix' => '/user', 'exceptionHandler' => \Demo\Handlers\SecondExceptionHandler::class, 'mergeExceptionHandlers' => false], function() {
// Only SecondExceptionHandler will trigger.
});
});By default all controller and resource routes will use a simplified version of their url as name.
You easily use the url() shortcut helper function to retrieve urls for your routes or manipulate the current url.
url() will return a Url object which will return a string when rendered, so it can be used safely in templates etc. but
contains all the useful helpers methods in the Url class like contains, indexOf etc.
Check the Useful url tricks below.
It has never been easier to get and/or manipulate the current url.
The example below shows you how to get the current url:
# output: /current-url
url();SimpleRouter::get('/product-view/{id}', 'ProductsController@show', ['as' => 'product']);
# output: /product-view/22/?category=shoes
url('product', ['id' => 22], ['category' => 'shoes']);
# output: /product-view/?category=shoes
url('product', null, ['category' => 'shoes']);SimpleRouter::controller('/images', ImagesController::class, ['as' => 'picture']);
# output: /images/view/?category=shows
url('picture@getView', null, ['category' => 'shoes']);
# output: /images/view/?category=shows
url('picture', 'getView', ['category' => 'shoes']);
# output: /images/view/
url('picture', 'view');SimpleRouter::get('/product-view/{id}', 'ProductsController@show', ['as' => 'product']);
SimpleRouter::controller('/images', 'ImagesController');
# output: /product-view/22/?category=shoes
url('ProductsController@show', ['id' => 22], ['category' => 'shoes']);
# output: /images/image/?id=22
url('ImagesController@getImage', null, ['id' => 22]);SimpleRouter::controller('gadgets', GadgetsController::class, ['names' => ['getIphoneInfo' => 'iphone']]);
url('gadgets.iphone');
# output
# /gadgets/iphoneinfo/SimpleRouter::resource('/phones', PhonesController::class);
# output: /phones/
url('phones');
# output: /phones/
url('phones.index');
# output: /phones/create/
url('phones.create');
# output: /phones/edit/
url('phones.edit');You can easily manipulate the query-strings, by adding your get param arguments.
# output: /current-url?q=cars
url(null, null, ['q' => 'cars']);You can remove a query-string parameter by setting the value to null.
The example below will remove any query-string parameter named q from the url but keep all others query-string parameters:
$url = url()->removeParam('q');For more information please check the Useful url tricks section of the documentation.
Calling url will always return a Url object. Upon rendered it will return a string of the relative url, so it's safe to use in templates etc.
However this allow us to use the useful methods on the Url object like indexOf and contains or retrieve specific parts of the url like the path, querystring parameters, host etc. You can also manipulate the url like removing- or adding parameters, changing host and more.
In the example below, we check if the current url contains the /api part.
if(url()->contains('/api')) {
// ... do stuff
}As mentioned earlier, you can also use the Url object to show specific parts of the url or control what part of the url you want.
# Grab the query-string parameter id from the current-url.
$id = url()->getParam('id');
# Get the absolute url for the current url.
$absoluteUrl = url()->getAbsoluteUrl();For more available methods please check the Pecee\Http\Url class.
simple-router offers libraries and helpers that makes it easy to manage and manipulate input-parameters like $_POST, $_GET and $_FILE.
You can use the InputHandler class to easily access and manage parameters from your request. The InputHandler class offers extended features such as copying/moving uploaded files directly on the object, getting file-extension, mime-type etc.
$this->input($index, $defaultValue, ...$methods);
To quickly get a value from a parameter, you can use the input helper function.
This will automatically trim the value and ensure that it's not empty. If it's empty the $defaultValue will be returned instead.
Note:
This function returns a string unless the parameters are grouped together, in that case it will return an array of values.
Example:
This example matches both POST and GET request-methods and if name is empty the default-value "Guest" will be returned.
$name = $this->input('name', 'Guest', 'post', 'get');$this->input()->values($filter = array());
To receive all input values you can leave the filter empty. If you only want specific inputs, you can pass their keys.
When dealing with file-uploads it can be useful to retrieve the raw parameter object.
Search for object with default-value across multiple or specific request-methods:
The example below will return an InputItem object if the parameter was found or an InputItem with the $defaultValue.
$object = $this->input()->find($index, $defaultValue = null, ...$methods);Getting specific $_GET parameter as InputItem object:
The example below will return an InputItem object if the parameter was found or an InputItem with the $defaultValue.
$object = $this->input()->get($index, $defaultValue = null);Getting specific $_POST parameter as InputItem object:
The example below will return an InputItem object if the parameter was found or an InputItem with the $defaultValue.
$object = $this->input()->post($index, $defaultValue = null);Getting specific request body parameter as InputItem object:
The example below will return an InputItem object if the parameter was found or an InputItem with the $defaultValue.
$object = $this->input()->data($index, $defaultValue = null);Getting specific $_FILE parameter as InputFile object:
The example below will return an InputFile object if the parameter was found or an InputFile with the $defaultValue.
$object = $this->input()->file($index, $defaultValue = null);/**
* Loop through a collection of files uploaded from a form on the page like this
* <input type="file" name="images[]" />
*/
/* @var $image \Pecee\Http\Input\InputFile */
foreach($this->input()->file('images', [])->getInputItems() as $image)
{
if($image->getMime() === 'image/jpeg')
{
$destinationFilname = sprintf('%s.%s', uniqid(), $image->getExtension());
$image->move(sprintf('/uploads/%s', $destinationFilename));
}
}# Get all
$values = $this->input()->all();
# Only match specific keys
$values = $this->input()->all([
'company_name',
'user_id'
]);All object implements the IInputItem interface and will always contain these methods:
getIndex()- returns the index/key of the input.setIndex()- set the index/key of the input.getName()- returns a human friendly name for the input (company_name will be Company Name etc).setName()- sets a human friendly name for the input (company_name will be Company Name etc).getValue()- returns the value of the input.setValue()- sets the value of the input.hasInputItems()- returns true if the value is an associative arraygetInputItems()- returns a collection of InputItems if the value is an associative array
InputFile has the same methods as above along with some other file-specific methods like:
getFilename()andgetValue()- get the filename.getTmpName()- get file temporary name.getSize()- get file size.move($destination)- move file to destination.getContents()- get file content.getType()- get mime-type for file.getError()- get file upload error.hasError()- returnsboolif an error occurred while uploading (ifgetErroris not 0).toArray()- returns raw array
You can easily if multiple items exists by using the exists method. It's simular to value as it can be used
to filter on request-methods and supports both string and array as parameter value.
Example:
if($this->input()->exists(['name', 'lastname'])) {
// Do stuff
}
/* Similar to code above */
if($this->input()->exists('name') && $this->input()->exists('lastname')) {
// Do stuff
}This section will help you understand how to register your own callbacks to events in the router. It will also cover the basics of event-handlers; how to use the handlers provided with the router and how to create your own custom event-handlers.
This section contains all available events that can be registered using the EventHandler.
All event callbacks will retrieve a EventArgument object as parameter. This object contains easy access to event-name, router- and request instance and any special event-arguments related to the given event. You can see what special event arguments each event returns in the list below.
| Name | Special arguments | Description |
|---|---|---|
EVENT_ALL |
- | Fires when a event is triggered. |
EVENT_INIT |
- | Fires when router is initializing and before routes are loaded. |
EVENT_LOAD |
loadedRoutes |
Fires when all routes has been loaded and rendered, just before the output is returned. |
EVENT_ADD_ROUTE |
routeisSubRoute |
Fires when route is added to the router. isSubRoute is true when sub-route is rendered. |
EVENT_REWRITE |
rewriteUrlrewriteRoute |
Fires when a url-rewrite is and just before the routes are re-initialized. |
EVENT_BOOT |
bootmanagers |
Fires when the router is booting. This happens just before boot-managers are rendered and before any routes has been loaded. |
EVENT_RENDER_BOOTMANAGER |
bootmanagersbootmanager |
Fires before a boot-manager is rendered. |
EVENT_LOAD_ROUTES |
routes |
Fires when the router is about to load all routes. |
EVENT_FIND_ROUTE |
name |
Fires whenever the findRoute method is called within the Router. This usually happens when the router tries to find routes that contains a certain url, usually after the EventHandler::EVENT_GET_URL event. |
EVENT_GET_URL |
nameparametersgetParams |
Fires whenever the SimpleRouter::getUrl method or url-helper function is called and the router tries to find the route. |
EVENT_MATCH_ROUTE |
route |
Fires when a route is matched and valid (correct request-type etc). and before the route is rendered. |
EVENT_RENDER_ROUTE |
route |
Fires before a route is rendered. |
EVENT_LOAD_EXCEPTIONS |
exceptionexceptionHandlers |
Fires when the router is loading exception-handlers. |
EVENT_RENDER_EXCEPTION |
exceptionexceptionHandlerexceptionHandlers |
Fires before the router is rendering a exception-handler. |
EVENT_RENDER_MIDDLEWARES |
routemiddlewares |
Fires before middlewares for a route is rendered. |
EVENT_RENDER_CSRF |
csrfVerifier |
Fires before the CSRF-verifier is rendered. |
To register a new event you need to create a new instance of the EventHandler object. On this object you can add as many callbacks as you like by calling the registerEvent method.
When you've registered events, make sure to add it to the router by calling
SimpleRouter::addEventHandler(). We recommend that you add your event-handlers within your routes.php.
Example:
use Pecee\SimpleRouter\Handlers\EventHandler;
use Pecee\SimpleRouter\Event\EventArgument;
// --- your routes goes here ---
$eventHandler = new EventHandler();
// Add event that fires when a route is rendered
$eventHandler->register(EventHandler::EVENT_RENDER_ROUTE, function(EventArgument $argument) {
// Get the route by using the special argument for this event.
$route = $argument->route;
// DO STUFF...
});
SimpleRouter::addEventHandler($eventHandler);EventHandler is the class that manages events and must inherit from the IEventHandler interface. The handler knows how to handle events for the given handler-type.
Most of the time the basic \Pecee\SimpleRouter\Handler\EventHandler class will be more than enough for most people as you simply register an event which fires when triggered.
Let's go over how to create your very own event-handler class.
Below is a basic example of a custom event-handler called DatabaseDebugHandler. The idea of the sample below is to logs all events to the database when triggered. Hopefully it will be enough to give you an idea on how the event-handlers work.
namespace Demo\Handlers;
use Pecee\SimpleRouter\Event\EventArgument;
use Pecee\SimpleRouter\Router;
class DatabaseDebugHandler implements IEventHandler
{
/**
* Debug callback
* @var \Closure
*/
protected $callback;
public function __construct()
{
$this->callback = function (EventArgument $argument) {
// todo: store log in database
};
}
/**
* Get events.
*
* @param string|null $name Filter events by name.
* @return array
*/
public function getEvents(?string $name): array
{
return [
$name => [
$this->callback,
],
];
}
/**
* Fires any events registered with given event-name
*
* @param Router $router Router instance
* @param string $name Event name
* @param array ...$eventArgs Event arguments
*/
public function fireEvents(Router $router, string $name, ...$eventArgs): void
{
$callback = $this->callback;
$callback(new EventArgument($router, $eventArgs));
}
/**
* Set debug callback
*
* @param \Closure $event
*/
public function setCallback(\Closure $event): void
{
$this->callback = $event;
}
}By default the router will try to execute all routes that matches a given url. To stop the router from executing any further routes any method can return a value.
This behavior can be easily disabled by setting SimpleRouter::enableMultiRouteRendering(false) in your routes.php file. This is the same behavior as version 3 and below.
You can white and/or blacklist access to IP's using the build in IpRestrictAccess middleware.
Create your own custom Middleware and extend the IpRestrictAccess class.
The IpRestrictAccess class contains two properties ipBlacklist and ipWhitelist that can be added to your middleware to change which IP's that have access to your routes.
You can use * to restrict access to a range of ips.
use \Pecee\Http\Middleware\IpRestrictAccess;
class IpBlockerMiddleware extends IpRestrictAccess
{
protected $ipBlacklist = [
'5.5.5.5',
'8.8.*',
];
protected $ipWhitelist = [
'8.8.2.2',
];
}You can add the middleware to multiple routes by adding your middleware to a group.
Sometimes it can be useful to add a custom base path to all of the routes added.
This can easily be done by taking advantage of the Event Handlers support of the project.
$basePath = '/basepath';
$eventHandler = new EventHandler();
$eventHandler->register(EventHandler::EVENT_ADD_ROUTE, function(EventArgument $event) use($basePath) {
$route = $event->route;
// Skip routes added by group as these will inherit the url
if(!$event->isSubRoute) {
return;
}
switch (true) {
case $route instanceof ILoadableRoute:
$route->prependUrl($basePath);
break;
case $route instanceof IGroupRoute:
$route->prependPrefix($basePath);
break;
}
});
SimpleRouter::addEventHandler($eventHandler);In the example shown above, we create a new EVENT_ADD_ROUTE event that triggers, when a new route is added.
We skip all subroutes as these will inherit the url from their parent. Then, if the route is a group, we change the prefix
otherwise we change the url.
Sometimes it can be useful to manipulate the route about to be loaded.
simple-php-router allows you to easily manipulate and change the routes which are about to be rendered.
All information about the current route is stored in the \Pecee\SimpleRouter\Router instance's loadedRoute property.
For easy access you can use the shortcut helper function request() instead of calling the class directly \Pecee\SimpleRouter\SimpleRouter::router().
request()->setRewriteCallback('Example\MyCustomClass@hello');
// -- or you can rewrite by url --
request()->setRewriteUrl('/my-rewrite-url');Sometimes it can be necessary to keep urls stored in the database, file or similar. In this example, we want the url /my-cat-is-beatiful to load the route /article/view/1 which the router knows, because it's defined in the routes.php file.
To interfere with the router, we create a class that implements the IRouterBootManager interface. This class will be loaded before any other rules in routes.php and allow us to "change" the current route, if any of our criteria are fulfilled (like coming from the url /my-cat-is-beatiful).
use Pecee\Http\Request;
use Pecee\SimpleRouter\IRouterBootManager;
use Pecee\SimpleRouter\Router;
class CustomRouterRules implement IRouterBootManager
{
/**
* Called when router is booting and before the routes is loaded.
*
* @param \Pecee\SimpleRouter\Router $router
* @param \Pecee\Http\Request $request
*/
public function boot(\Pecee\SimpleRouter\Router $router, \Pecee\Http\Request $request): void
{
$rewriteRules = [
'/my-cat-is-beatiful' => '/article/view/1',
'/horses-are-great' => '/article/view/2',
];
foreach($rewriteRules as $url => $rule) {
// If the current url matches the rewrite url, we use our custom route
if($request->getUrl()->contains($url)) {
$request->setRewriteUrl($rule);
}
}
}
}The above should be pretty self-explanatory and can easily be changed to loop through urls store in the database, file or cache.
What happens is that if the current route matches the route defined in the index of our $rewriteRules array, we set the route to the array value instead.
By doing this the route will now load the url /article/view/1 instead of /my-cat-is-beatiful.
The last thing we need to do, is to add our custom boot-manager to the routes.php file. You can create as many bootmanagers as you like and easily add them in your routes.php file.
SimpleRouter::addBootManager(new CustomRouterRules());The SimpleRouter class referenced in the previous example, is just a simple helper class that knows how to communicate with the Router class.
If you are up for a challenge, want the full control or simply just want to create your own Router helper class, this example is for you.
use \Pecee\SimpleRouter\Router;
use \Pecee\SimpleRouter\Route\RouteUrl;
/* Create new Router instance */
$router = new Router();
$route = new RouteUrl('/answer/1', function() {
die('this callback will match /answer/1');
});
$route->addMiddleware(\Demo\Middlewares\AuthMiddleware::class);
$route->setNamespace('\Demo\Controllers');
$route->setPrefix('v1');
/* Add the route to the router */
$router->addRoute($route);You can easily extend simple-router to support custom injection frameworks like php-di by taking advantage of the ability to add your custom class-loader.
Class-loaders must inherit the IClassLoader interface.
Example:
class MyCustomClassLoader implements IClassLoader
{
/**
* Load class
*
* @param string $class
* @return object
* @throws NotFoundHttpException
*/
public function loadClass(string $class)
{
if (\class_exists($class) === false) {
throw new NotFoundHttpException(sprintf('Class "%s" does not exist', $class), 404);
}
return new $class();
}
/**
* Called when loading class method
* @param object $class
* @param string $method
* @param array $parameters
* @return object
*/
public function loadClassMethod($class, string $method, array $parameters)
{
return call_user_func_array([$class, $method], array_values($parameters));
}
/**
* Load closure
*
* @param Callable $closure
* @param array $parameters
* @return mixed
*/
public function loadClosure(Callable $closure, array $parameters)
{
return \call_user_func_array($closure, array_values($parameters));
}
}Next, we need to configure our routes.php so the router uses our MyCustomClassLoader class for loading classes. This can be done by adding the following line to your routes.php file.
SimpleRouter::setCustomClassLoader(new MyCustomClassLoader());php-di support was discontinued by version 4.3, however you can easily add it again by creating your own class-loader like the example below:
use Pecee\SimpleRouter\Exceptions\ClassNotFoundHttpException;
class MyCustomClassLoader implements IClassLoader
{
protected $container;
public function __construct()
{
// Create our new php-di container
$this->container = (new \DI\ContainerBuilder())
->useAutowiring(true)
->build();
}
/**
* Load class
*
* @param string $class
* @return object
* @throws NotFoundHttpException
*/
public function loadClass(string $class)
{
if (class_exists($class) === false) {
throw new NotFoundHttpException(sprintf('Class "%s" does not exist', $class), 404);
}
try {
return $this->container->get($class);
} catch (\Exception $e) {
throw new NotFoundHttpException($e->getMessage(), (int)$e->getCode(), $e->getPrevious());
}
}
/**
* Called when loading class method
* @param object $class
* @param string $method
* @param array $parameters
* @return object
*/
public function loadClassMethod($class, string $method, array $parameters)
{
try {
return $this->container->call([$class, $method], $parameters);
} catch (\Exception $e) {
throw new NotFoundHttpException($e->getMessage(), (int)$e->getCode(), $e->getPrevious());
}
}
/**
* Load closure
*
* @param Callable $closure
* @param array $parameters
* @return mixed
*/
public function loadClosure(callable $closure, array $parameters)
{
try {
return $this->container->call($closure, $parameters);
} catch (\Exception $e) {
throw new NotFoundHttpException($e->getMessage(), (int)$e->getCode(), $e->getPrevious());
}
}
}This section contains advanced tips & tricks on extending the usage for parameters.
This is a simple example of an integration into a framework.
The framework has it's own Router class which inherits from the SimpleRouter class. This allows the framework to add custom functionality like loading a custom routes.php file or add debugging information etc.
namespace Demo;
use Pecee\SimpleRouter\SimpleRouter;
class Router extends SimpleRouter {
public static function start() {
// change this to whatever makes sense in your project
require_once 'routes.php';
// change default namespace for all routes
parent::setDefaultNamespace('\Demo\Controllers');
// Do initial stuff
parent::start();
}
}This section will go into details on how to debug the router and answer some of the commonly asked questions- and issues.
This section will go over common issues and how to resolve them.
Often people experience this issue when one or more parameters contains special characters. The router uses a sparse regular-expression that matches letters from a-z along with numbers when matching parameters, to improve performance.
All other characters has to be defined via the defaultParameterRegex option on your route.
You can read more about adding your own custom regular expression for matching parameters by clicking here.
The router will match routes in the order they're added and will render multiple routes, if they match.
If you want the router to stop when a route is matched, you simply return a value in your callback or stop the execution manually (using response()->json() etc.) or simply by returning a result.
Any returned objects that implements the __toString() magic method will also prevent other routes from being rendered.
If you want the router only to execute one route per request, you can disabling multiple route rendering.
Please refer to Setting custom base path part of the documentation.
This section will show you how to write unit-tests for the router, view useful debugging information and answer some of the frequently asked questions.
It will also covers how to report any issue you might encounter.
The easiest and fastest way to debug any issues with the router, is to create a unit-test that represents the issue you are experiencing.
Unit-tests use a special TestRouter class, which simulates a request-method and requested url of a browser.
The TestRouter class can return the output directly or render a route silently.
public function testUnicodeCharacters()
{
// Add route containing two optional paramters with special spanish characters like "í".
TestRouter::get('/cursos/listado/{listado?}/{category?}', 'DummyController@method1', ['defaultParameterRegex' => '[\w\p{L}\s-]+']);
// Start the routing and simulate the url "/cursos/listado/especialidad/cirugía local".
TestRouter::debugNoReset('/cursos/listado/especialidad/cirugía local', 'GET');
// Verify that the url for the loaded route matches the expected route.
$this->assertEquals('/cursos/listado/{listado?}/{category?}/', TestRouter::router()->getRequest()->getLoadedRoute()->getUrl());
// Start the routing and simulate the url "/test/Dermatología" using "GET" as request-method.
TestRouter::debugNoReset('/test/Dermatología', 'GET');
// Another route containing one parameter with special spanish characters like "í".
TestRouter::get('/test/{param}', 'DummyController@method1', ['defaultParameterRegex' => '[\w\p{L}\s-\í]+']);
// Get all parameters parsed by the loaded route.
$parameters = TestRouter::request()->getLoadedRoute()->getParameters();
// Check that the parameter named "param" matches the exspected value.
$this->assertEquals('Dermatología', $parameters['param']);
// Add route testing danish special characters like "ø".
TestRouter::get('/category/økse', 'DummyController@method1', ['defaultParameterRegex' => '[\w\ø]+']);
// Start the routing and simulate the url "/kategory/økse" using "GET" as request-method.
TestRouter::debugNoReset('/category/økse', 'GET');
// Validate that the URL of the loaded-route matches the expected url.
$this->assertEquals('/category/økse/', TestRouter::router()->getRequest()->getLoadedRoute()->getUrl());
// Reset the router, so other tests wont inherit settings or the routes we've added.
TestRouter::router()->reset();
}Depending on your test, you can use the methods below when rendering routes in your unit-tests.
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
TestRouter::debug($url, $method) |
Will render the route without returning anything. Exceptions will be thrown and the router will be reset automatically. |
TestRouter::debugOutput($url, $method) |
Will render the route and return any value that the route might output. Manual reset required by calling TestRouter::router()->reset(). |
TestRouter::debugNoReset($url, $method); |
Will render the route without resetting the router. Useful if you need to get loaded route, parameters etc. from the router. Manual reset required by calling TestRouter::router()->reset(). |
The library can output debug-information, which contains information like loaded routes, the parsed request-url etc. It also contains info which are important when reporting a new issue like PHP-version, library version, server-variables, router debug log etc.
You can activate the debug-information by calling the alternative start-method.
The example below will start the routing an return array with debugging-information
Example:
$debugInfo = SimpleRouter::startDebug();
echo sprintf('<pre>%s</pre>', var_export($debugInfo));
exit;The example above will provide you with an output containing:
| Key | Description |
|---|---|
url |
The parsed request-uri. This url should match the url in the browser. |
method |
The browsers request method (example: GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE etc). |
host |
The website host (example: domain.com). |
loaded_routes |
List of all the routes that matched the url and that has been rendered/loaded. |
all_routes |
All available routes |
boot_managers |
All available BootManagers |
csrf_verifier |
CsrfVerifier class |
log |
List of debug messages/log from the router. |
router_output |
The rendered callback output from the router. |
library_version |
The version of simple-php-router you are using. |
php_version |
The version of PHP you are using. |
server_params |
List of all $_SERVER variables/headers. |
You can activate benchmark debugging/logging by calling setDebugEnabled method on the Router instance.
You have to enable debugging BEFORE starting the routing.
Example:
SimpleRouter::router()->setDebugEnabled(true);
SimpleRouter::start();When the routing is complete, you can get the debug-log by calling the getDebugLog() on the Router instance. This will return an array of log-messages each containing execution time, trace info and debug-message.
Example:
$messages = SimpleRouter::router()->getDebugLog();Before reporting your issue, make sure that the issue you are experiencing aren't already answered in the Common errors section or by searching the closed issues page on GitHub.
To avoid confusion and to help you resolve your issue as quickly as possible, you should provide a detailed explanation of the problem you are experiencing.
- Go to this page to create a new issue.
- Add a title that describes your problems in as few words as possible.
- Copy and paste the template below in the description of your issue and replace each step with your own information. If the step is not relevant for your issue you can delete it.
Copy and paste the template below into the description of your new issue and replace it with your own information.
You can check the Debug information section to see how to generate the debug-info.
### Description
The library fails to render the route `/user/æsel` which contains one parameter using a custom regular expression for matching special foreign characters. Routes without special characters like `/user/tom` renders correctly.
### Steps to reproduce the error
1. Add the following route:
```php
SimpleRouter::get('/user/{name}', 'UserController@show')->where(['name' => '[\w]+']);
```
2. Navigate to `/user/æsel` in browser.
3. `NotFoundHttpException` is thrown by library.
### Route and/or callback for failing route
*Route:*
```php
SimpleRouter::get('/user/{name}', 'UserController@show')->where(['name' => '[\w]+']);
```
*Callback:*
```php
public function show($username) {
return sprintf('Username is: %s', $username);
}
```
### Debug info
```php
[PASTE YOUR DEBUG-INFO HERE]
```
Remember that a more detailed issue- description and debug-info might suck to write, but it will help others understand- and resolve your issue without asking for the information.
Note: please be as detailed as possible in the description when creating a new issue. This will help others to more easily understand- and solve your issue. Providing the necessary steps to reproduce the error within your description, adding useful debugging info etc. will help others quickly resolve the issue you are reporting.
- Domain parameters are always appended at the end of the parameters passed to functions. (Ignores
$parameterReverseOrder)
- Add function like ->controller() to autoload routes with the php attribute Route:
SimpleRouter::loadRoutes(ArticleController::class);SampleController.class:
class ArticleController{
use RouterUtils;
#[Route(Route::POST, '/')]
public function createArticle(){
...
}
#[Route(Route::GET, '/{id}')]
public function getArticle(#[ValidatorAttribute] int $id){
...
}
}- Dangerous route match behavior with trim. See
RouterUrlTest@testDangerousTrimBehavior
