FastRoute - Fast request router for PHP
|
||
|
=======================================
|
||
|
|
||
|
This library provides a fast implementation of a regular expression based router. [Blog post explaining how the
|
||
|
implementation works and why it is fast.][blog_post]
|
||
|
|
||
|
Install
|
||
|
-------
|
||
|
|
||
|
To install with composer:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```sh
|
||
|
composer require nikic/fast-route
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Requires PHP 5.4 or newer.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Usage
|
||
|
-----
|
||
|
|
||
|
Here's a basic usage example:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```php
|
||
|
<?php
|
||
|
|
||
|
require '/path/to/vendor/autoload.php';
|
||
|
|
||
|
$dispatcher = FastRoute\simpleDispatcher(function(FastRoute\RouteCollector $r) {
|
||
|
$r->addRoute('GET', '/users', 'get_all_users_handler');
|
||
|
// {id} must be a number (\d+)
|
||
|
$r->addRoute('GET', '/user/{id:\d+}', 'get_user_handler');
|
||
|
// The /{title} suffix is optional
|
||
|
$r->addRoute('GET', '/articles/{id:\d+}[/{title}]', 'get_article_handler');
|
||
|
});
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Fetch method and URI from somewhere
|
||
|
$httpMethod = $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'];
|
||
|
$uri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Strip query string (?foo=bar) and decode URI
|
||
|
if (false !== $pos = strpos($uri, '?')) {
|
||
|
$uri = substr($uri, 0, $pos);
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
$uri = rawurldecode($uri);
|
||
|
|
||
|
$routeInfo = $dispatcher->dispatch($httpMethod, $uri);
|
||
|
switch ($routeInfo[0]) {
|
||
|
case FastRoute\Dispatcher::NOT_FOUND:
|
||
|
// ... 404 Not Found
|
||
|
break;
|
||
|
case FastRoute\Dispatcher::METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED:
|
||
|
$allowedMethods = $routeInfo[1];
|
||
|
// ... 405 Method Not Allowed
|
||
|
break;
|
||
|
case FastRoute\Dispatcher::FOUND:
|
||
|
$handler = $routeInfo[1];
|
||
|
$vars = $routeInfo[2];
|
||
|
// ... call $handler with $vars
|
||
|
break;
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Defining routes
|
||
|
|
||
|
The routes are defined by calling the `FastRoute\simpleDispatcher()` function, which accepts
|
||
|
a callable taking a `FastRoute\RouteCollector` instance. The routes are added by calling
|
||
|
`addRoute()` on the collector instance:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```php
|
||
|
$r->addRoute($method, $routePattern, $handler);
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
The `$method` is an uppercase HTTP method string for which a certain route should match. It
|
||
|
is possible to specify multiple valid methods using an array:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```php
|
||
|
// These two calls
|
||
|
$r->addRoute('GET', '/test', 'handler');
|
||
|
$r->addRoute('POST', '/test', 'handler');
|
||
|
// Are equivalent to this one call
|
||
|
$r->addRoute(['GET', 'POST'], '/test', 'handler');
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
By default the `$routePattern` uses a syntax where `{foo}` specifies a placeholder with name `foo`
|
||
|
and matching the regex `[^/]+`. To adjust the pattern the placeholder matches, you can specify
|
||
|
a custom pattern by writing `{bar:[0-9]+}`. Some examples:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```php
|
||
|
// Matches /user/42, but not /user/xyz
|
||
|
$r->addRoute('GET', '/user/{id:\d+}', 'handler');
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Matches /user/foobar, but not /user/foo/bar
|
||
|
$r->addRoute('GET', '/user/{name}', 'handler');
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Matches /user/foo/bar as well
|
||
|
$r->addRoute('GET', '/user/{name:.+}', 'handler');
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Custom patterns for route placeholders cannot use capturing groups. For example `{lang:(en|de)}`
|
||
|
is not a valid placeholder, because `()` is a capturing group. Instead you can use either
|
||
|
`{lang:en|de}` or `{lang:(?:en|de)}`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Furthermore parts of the route enclosed in `[...]` are considered optional, so that `/foo[bar]`
|
||
|
will match both `/foo` and `/foobar`. Optional parts are only supported in a trailing position,
|
||
|
not in the middle of a route.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```php
|
||
|
// This route
|
||
|
$r->addRoute('GET', '/user/{id:\d+}[/{name}]', 'handler');
|
||
|
// Is equivalent to these two routes
|
||
|
$r->addRoute('GET', '/user/{id:\d+}', 'handler');
|
||
|
$r->addRoute('GET', '/user/{id:\d+}/{name}', 'handler');
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Multiple nested optional parts are possible as well
|
||
|
$r->addRoute('GET', '/user[/{id:\d+}[/{name}]]', 'handler');
|
||
|
|
||
|
// This route is NOT valid, because optional parts can only occur at the end
|
||
|
$r->addRoute('GET', '/user[/{id:\d+}]/{name}', 'handler');
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
The `$handler` parameter does not necessarily have to be a callback, it could also be a controller
|
||
|
class name or any other kind of data you wish to associate with the route. FastRoute only tells you
|
||
|
which handler corresponds to your URI, how you interpret it is up to you.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### Shorcut methods for common request methods
|
||
|
|
||
|
For the `GET`, `POST`, `PUT`, `PATCH`, `DELETE` and `HEAD` request methods shortcut methods are available. For example:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```php
|
||
|
$r->get('/get-route', 'get_handler');
|
||
|
$r->post('/post-route', 'post_handler');
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Is equivalent to:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```php
|
||
|
$r->addRoute('GET', '/get-route', 'get_handler');
|
||
|
$r->addRoute('POST', '/post-route', 'post_handler');
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### Route Groups
|
||
|
|
||
|
Additionally, you can specify routes inside of a group. All routes defined inside a group will have a common prefix.
|
||
|
|
||
|
For example, defining your routes as:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```php
|
||
|
$r->addGroup('/admin', function (RouteCollector $r) {
|
||
|
$r->addRoute('GET', '/do-something', 'handler');
|
||
|
$r->addRoute('GET', '/do-another-thing', 'handler');
|
||
|
$r->addRoute('GET', '/do-something-else', 'handler');
|
||
|
});
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Will have the same result as:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```php
|
||
|
$r->addRoute('GET', '/admin/do-something', 'handler');
|
||
|
$r->addRoute('GET', '/admin/do-another-thing', 'handler');
|
||
|
$r->addRoute('GET', '/admin/do-something-else', 'handler');
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Nested groups are also supported, in which case the prefixes of all the nested groups are combined.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Caching
|
||
|
|
||
|
The reason `simpleDispatcher` accepts a callback for defining the routes is to allow seamless
|
||
|
caching. By using `cachedDispatcher` instead of `simpleDispatcher` you can cache the generated
|
||
|
routing data and construct the dispatcher from the cached information:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```php
|
||
|
<?php
|
||
|
|
||
|
$dispatcher = FastRoute\cachedDispatcher(function(FastRoute\RouteCollector $r) {
|
||
|
$r->addRoute('GET', '/user/{name}/{id:[0-9]+}', 'handler0');
|
||
|
$r->addRoute('GET', '/user/{id:[0-9]+}', 'handler1');
|
||
|
$r->addRoute('GET', '/user/{name}', 'handler2');
|
||
|
}, [
|
||
|
'cacheFile' => __DIR__ . '/route.cache', /* required */
|
||
|
'cacheDisabled' => IS_DEBUG_ENABLED, /* optional, enabled by default */
|
||
|
]);
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
The second parameter to the function is an options array, which can be used to specify the cache
|
||
|
file location, among other things.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Dispatching a URI
|
||
|
|
||
|
A URI is dispatched by calling the `dispatch()` method of the created dispatcher. This method
|
||
|
accepts the HTTP method and a URI. Getting those two bits of information (and normalizing them
|
||
|
appropriately) is your job - this library is not bound to the PHP web SAPIs.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The `dispatch()` method returns an array whose first element contains a status code. It is one
|
||
|
of `Dispatcher::NOT_FOUND`, `Dispatcher::METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED` and `Dispatcher::FOUND`. For the
|
||
|
method not allowed status the second array element contains a list of HTTP methods allowed for
|
||
|
the supplied URI. For example:
|
||
|
|
||
|
[FastRoute\Dispatcher::METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED, ['GET', 'POST']]
|
||
|
|
||
|
> **NOTE:** The HTTP specification requires that a `405 Method Not Allowed` response include the
|
||
|
`Allow:` header to detail available methods for the requested resource. Applications using FastRoute
|
||
|
should use the second array element to add this header when relaying a 405 response.
|
||
|
|
||
|
For the found status the second array element is the handler that was associated with the route
|
||
|
and the third array element is a dictionary of placeholder names to their values. For example:
|
||
|
|
||
|
/* Routing against GET /user/nikic/42 */
|
||
|
|
||
|
[FastRoute\Dispatcher::FOUND, 'handler0', ['name' => 'nikic', 'id' => '42']]
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Overriding the route parser and dispatcher
|
||
|
|
||
|
The routing process makes use of three components: A route parser, a data generator and a
|
||
|
dispatcher. The three components adhere to the following interfaces:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```php
|
||
|
<?php
|
||
|
|
||
|
namespace FastRoute;
|
||
|
|
||
|
interface RouteParser {
|
||
|
public function parse($route);
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
|
||
|
interface DataGenerator {
|
||
|
public function addRoute($httpMethod, $routeData, $handler);
|
||
|
public function getData();
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
|
||
|
interface Dispatcher {
|
||
|
const NOT_FOUND = 0, FOUND = 1, METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED = 2;
|
||
|
|
||
|
public function dispatch($httpMethod, $uri);
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
The route parser takes a route pattern string and converts it into an array of route infos, where
|
||
|
each route info is again an array of it's parts. The structure is best understood using an example:
|
||
|
|
||
|
/* The route /user/{id:\d+}[/{name}] converts to the following array: */
|
||
|
[
|
||
|
[
|
||
|
'/user/',
|
||
|
['id', '\d+'],
|
||
|
],
|
||
|
[
|
||
|
'/user/',
|
||
|
['id', '\d+'],
|
||
|
'/',
|
||
|
['name', '[^/]+'],
|
||
|
],
|
||
|
]
|
||
|
|
||
|
This array can then be passed to the `addRoute()` method of a data generator. After all routes have
|
||
|
been added the `getData()` of the generator is invoked, which returns all the routing data required
|
||
|
by the dispatcher. The format of this data is not further specified - it is tightly coupled to
|
||
|
the corresponding dispatcher.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The dispatcher accepts the routing data via a constructor and provides a `dispatch()` method, which
|
||
|
you're already familiar with.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The route parser can be overwritten individually (to make use of some different pattern syntax),
|
||
|
however the data generator and dispatcher should always be changed as a pair, as the output from
|
||
|
the former is tightly coupled to the input of the latter. The reason the generator and the
|
||
|
dispatcher are separate is that only the latter is needed when using caching (as the output of
|
||
|
the former is what is being cached.)
|
||
|
|
||
|
When using the `simpleDispatcher` / `cachedDispatcher` functions from above the override happens
|
||
|
through the options array:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```php
|
||
|
<?php
|
||
|
|
||
|
$dispatcher = FastRoute\simpleDispatcher(function(FastRoute\RouteCollector $r) {
|
||
|
/* ... */
|
||
|
}, [
|
||
|
'routeParser' => 'FastRoute\\RouteParser\\Std',
|
||
|
'dataGenerator' => 'FastRoute\\DataGenerator\\GroupCountBased',
|
||
|
'dispatcher' => 'FastRoute\\Dispatcher\\GroupCountBased',
|
||
|
]);
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
The above options array corresponds to the defaults. By replacing `GroupCountBased` by
|
||
|
`GroupPosBased` you could switch to a different dispatching strategy.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### A Note on HEAD Requests
|
||
|
|
||
|
The HTTP spec requires servers to [support both GET and HEAD methods][2616-511]:
|
||
|
|
||
|
> The methods GET and HEAD MUST be supported by all general-purpose servers
|
||
|
|
||
|
To avoid forcing users to manually register HEAD routes for each resource we fallback to matching an
|
||
|
available GET route for a given resource. The PHP web SAPI transparently removes the entity body
|
||
|
from HEAD responses so this behavior has no effect on the vast majority of users.
|
||
|
|
||
|
However, implementers using FastRoute outside the web SAPI environment (e.g. a custom server) MUST
|
||
|
NOT send entity bodies generated in response to HEAD requests. If you are a non-SAPI user this is
|
||
|
*your responsibility*; FastRoute has no purview to prevent you from breaking HTTP in such cases.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Finally, note that applications MAY always specify their own HEAD method route for a given
|
||
|
resource to bypass this behavior entirely.
|
||
|

This library is based on a router that [Levi Morrison][levi] implemented for the Aerys server.
|
||
|
|
||
|
A large number of tests, as well as HTTP compliance considerations, were provided by [Daniel Lowrey][rdlowrey].
