🌟 Laravel 13 G4T easyRoute Attributes

A Laravel 13 package that lets you define routes using PHP 8 attributes with full support for Controller-level routes, Method-level routes, middleware, subfolders, and caching via Laravel’s routes-v7.php.

🚀 Features

• Controller-level route attributes (#[Route(uri: 'users')])
• Method-level route attributes (#[Get], #[Post], #[Put], #[Patch], #[Delete], #[Any])
• Auto route generation using method names or onController option
• Middleware support (controller-level + method-level)
• Nested folder support for controllers
• Route caching using Laravel compiled routes (bootstrap/cache/routes-v7.php)
• Configurable Controllers paths

⚙️ Installation

Install via Composer:

composer require g4t/easyroute

Publish config:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider "G4T\EaseRoute\EaseRouteServiceProvider"

This creates config/route-attribute.php:

return [
    'controllers_path' => [app_path('Http/Controllers')],
    'cache' => true,
];

📝 Usage Controller-level Route

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use G4T\EaseRoute\Attributes\Route;
use G4T\EaseRoute\Attributes\Get;
use G4T\EaseRoute\Attributes\Post;

#[Route(uri: 'users', middleware: ['auth'])]
class UserController extends Controller
{
    #[Get]
    public function index()
    {
        return "List of users";
    }

    #[Get(onController: true)]
    public function show($id)
    {
        return "User: $id";
    }

    #[Post('create')]
    public function store()
    {
        return "Create user";
    }
}

Supported HTTP Methods

Attribute	HTTP Method
#[Get]	GET
#[Post]	POST
#[Put]	PUT
#[Patch]	PATCH
#[Delete]	DELETE
#[Any]	Any method

⚡ Route Caching

To improve performance, EasyRoute can use Laravel compiled routes instead of scanning controllers for every request.

Steps:

1. Ensure cache is enabled in config/route-attribute.php:

'cache' => true

1. Run the caching command:

php artisan route:cache

⚙️ Configuration

return [
    'controllers_path' => [app_path('Http/Controllers')],
    'cache' => true,
];

• controllers_path → Array of paths where your controllers reside
• cache → Use cached routes from routes-v7.php

📝 Notes Supports nested folders in controllers_path.

Use onController: true to auto-generate URI based on Controller and Method names.

Middleware is merged: controller-level + method-level.

Fully compatible with Laravel 13 attributes syntax.

GET      users                          UserController@index
GET      user/show/{id}                 UserController@show
POST     users/create                    UserController@store

├─ Http/
│  ├─ Controllers/
│  │  ├─ UserController.php
│  │  └─ Admin/
│  │     └─ AdminController.php
bootstrap/

└─ route-attribute.php

✅ Notes for Developers

• Place your controllers inside controllers_path
• Add #[Route(...)] at the class level
• Add #[Get], #[Post], etc. at method level
• Use onController: true for automatic route naming Run php artisan route:cache to generate cached routes

EasyRoute makes your Laravel 13 routing modern, clean, and high-performance.
