Acksop / EdgeAltoRouter

PHP routing class with a config file. Lightweight yet flexible. Supports REST, dynamic and reversed routing.

EdgeAltoRouter

EdgeAltoRouter is a small but powerful routing class, forked from dannyvankooten.php with an important addition : a config model file.

$router = new EdgeAltoRouter(configModelUrl : __DIR__ . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'route.config');
$router->setBasePath(BASE_PATH);

$match = $router->match();

/*
 * $match may is like :
 * [
 *   'target' => 'home#index',
 *   'params' => [],
 *   'name' => 'home'
 * ]
 */

if( is_array($match) && is_callable( $match['target'] ) ) {
    call_user_func_array( $match['name'], $match['params'] ); 
} else {
    // no route was matched
    header( $_SERVER["SERVER_PROTOCOL"] . ' 404 Not Found');
}


// echo URL to home at index
echo $router->generate('home'); // Output: "home#index"
