This is an approach to using a symfony based router within a WordPress installation.
It hooks into the 'template_redirect' WP action and checks for any route matches.
For matches, custom code is run and the script is exited.
If no matches are found then the router does nothing and lets the WP script continue.
Based on: http://symfony.com/doc/current/create_framework/index.html
It uses composer to bring in some dependencies:
- Composer's autoloader
- symfony/http-foundation
- symfony/routing
- symfony/http-kernel
Run composer intstall from the plugin dir in the terminal to load up dependencies.
The core of the framework is in front.php
Routes are added to the lib/routes.php file
Route names match up to the template name used for route.
Template files are added to lib/templates.
Controllers and model classes can be added to the respective folders in the lib directory.
There are 3 sample routes added:
-
sample controller with end of url as a parameter: /sample-controller/anything-as-variable
-
sample inline controller in route declaration: /sample-inline-controller/
-
redirect from one page to another: /some/page/
