URL rewrite

[panique]

Sorry I really don't know what you want to say :(

[macagoraga]

I mean create a routing like Slim Framework (and many others):

get('/hello/:name', function ($name) { echo "Hello, $name"; }); $app->run();

[panique]

Hmm I think people who understand routes and know what REST is definitly dont need php-mvc ;)
I totally understand your point, but this project might not be the right place for such a feature.
Let's see what others say.

hmm....

As I know MVC is how the structure of your app works.

REST is how your app "talks" with other apps.

You can combine them.

A lot of modern frameworks actually are MVC based and make implementing REST web services easy.

But I can understand that you want keep it lightway, a backbone.

I just ask if someone else has already integrated something into php-mvc.

Thanks!!

Hello @macagoraga may I ask how you implemented the routing? I would like to include it in my application.

Hi @mituriu

I will show below example of code Application.php which you can adapt to your code.

I use this php router class (but there are also other which work fine, example you can use Simfony2 Routing):

http://altorouter.com/

find here example of usage:
https://github.com/dannyvankooten/AltoRouter/blob/master/examples/basic/index.php

As you can see you can map class controller, not only anonymous functions.

Example of usage:

<?php

/**
 * Application class
 *
 * Main class for load application
 *
 * @package Library
 */

class Application {

    public $controller = null;
    private $action = null;
    private $params = array();
    private $name = null;

    public function __construct(){}

    /**
     * Start application
     */

    public function start()
    {
      Session\start_session();
      $this->loadRoutes();
      $this->loadController();
    }

    /**
     * Load router
     */

    public function loadRoutes(){

      $router = Service\get('ROUTER');
      $config = Service\get('CONFIGURATION');

      $router->setBasePath($config->get('base_folder'));
      $routes = include BASEDIR . '/private/config/routes.php';
      foreach($routes as $key => $route){
        $router->map($route['methods'], $route['url'], $route['action'], $key);
      }
      $match = $router->match();

      if(is_array($match)) {
        $this->controller = $match['target']['c'];
        $this->action = $match['target']['a'];
        $this->params = $match['params'];
        $this->name = $match['name'];

      } else {

        // NOT FOUND
      }

    }


    /**
     * Execute controller code
     */

    private function loadController() {

      if (! $this->isController($this->controller)) {
        // ERROR :: Is Not a Controller
      }

      // Create new instance of controller
      $object = new $this->controller();
      // Prepare params
      $params = array_values($this->params);
      // Prepare callback
      $callback = [$object, $this->action];
      // Check if method exist
      if (method_exists($object, $this->action) && is_callable($callback)) {
        // Execute matched controller method
        call_user_func_array($callback, $params);
      }
      // Check if index method exist
      elseif (method_exists($object, 'index') && is_callable([$object, 'index'])) {
        // Execute matched controller method index()
        call_user_func_array([$object, 'index'], $params);
      }

      // Not found controller
      else {
        // Display error 404 page not found

      }
    }


    /**
     * Check if a controller exist
     */

    private function isController($controller) {
      return (is_readable(BASEDIR . '/private/controller/' .strtolower(str_replace('\\', '/', $controller)).'.php'));
    }

} // end Application class

routes.php file it's like below:

<?php return [


// ACCOUNT
'unique-route-name' => [
  'methods' => 'GET',
  'url' => '/my-custom-url',
  'action' =>
  [
    'c' => 'MyControllerClassName',
    'a' => 'myMethodName',
  ]
],
'unique-route-name-2' => [
  'methods' => 'GET',
  'url' => '/my-custom-url',
  'action' =>
  [
    'c' => 'MyControllerClassName2',
    'a' => 'myMethodName2',
  ]
],

...

This is my custom way to map routes, you can create your own.

Hope this help.

Hi @macagoraga, Thank you very much for the long explanation. I will give this a try and let you know how it goes.
