## Features

* Fast
* Easy
* Lightweight
* Supports Middlewares
* Supports Dynamic Routes
* Supports GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, OPTIONS, HEAD
* Handles Custom Responses (user nabeelalihashmi/LightHttp Package)

## Installtion
```
composer require nabeelalihashmi/lightrouter
```
Optional use LightHttp package for custom responses
```
composer require nabeelalihashmi/lighthttp

```

## Basic Usage

Create a new file `.htaccess` in your project root directory.
```
Options -Indexes
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . public/index.php [L]
```
Here is sample code for index.php

```
setRoutes(getRoutes());
$router->setNotFound(function() {
header('HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found');
echo '404 Not Found';
});

$router->run();
```
Here is demo Controller

```
Before Middlewares -> Callback -> After Middlwares
```

You can add routes by following methods

1. `setRoutes`
2. `addRoute`

But first you need to know about a route structure. In LightRouter, a route structure is an array with this pattern

```
[
'METHOD | String',
'URI | String',
'CALLBACK | Array or Callback',
'BEFORE_MIDDLEWARES | Array'
'After_MIDDLEWARES | Array'
]
```

you can either set routes one by one like:

```
$router->addRoute('GET', '/', [HomeController::class, 'index'], [MyMiddleware::class]);
```
or You can set all routes at once using `setRoutes` method like this

```
$router->setRoutes([
['GET', '/', [HomeController::class, 'index'], [MyMiddleware::class]],
['POST', '/', [HomeController::class, 'posts'], [MyMiddleware::class]],
['GET', '/user/someuser/icon', [HomeController::class, 'index'], [MyMiddleware::class]],
['GET', '/user/.+', [HomeController::class, 'user'], [MyMiddleware::class]]
]);
```

## Dynamic Routes

LightRouter supports dynamic routes. You can use `.+` in your URI, and in callback function, you can use variables according to position.

```
$router->addRoute('GET', '/user/{arg1}/{arg2}', [HomeController::class, 'user'], [MyMiddleware::class]);

class HomeController {
public function user($id, $name) {
var_dump($id);
var_dump($name);
}
}
```

## Responses
## NOTE: Reponses are removed from LightRouter packages and they are part of LightHttp

To make it modular and independant, you can plug LightHttp IResponse or use own.

```
$router->response_type_interface_name = gettype('IconicCodes\LightHttp\Responses\IResponse);
```

You can make your own reponse handler too. It must have 'handle' method.

Controllers/callbacks can return a Response implementing `IResponse` interface having `handle` method. By default LightRouter has these Responses

* LResponse
* LJSONResponse
* LRedirectResponse

## Methods

LightRouter has only these methods:

### setRoutes(array $routes)
```
$router->setRoutes([...]);
```
### addRoute($array route)
```
$router->addRoute('GET', '/', [HomeController::class, 'index'], [MyMiddleware::class]);
```
### run()
```
$router->run();
```
### setNotFound(callback $callback)
```
$router->setNotFound(function() {
header('HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found');
echo '404 Not Found';
});
```
