README

This library enhances the routing system of CodeIgniter 4 by introducing PHP 8 Attributes. It allows defining routes directly in controller methods, thereby simplifying the routing process and reducing redundancy. The library also supports multiple controller namespaces and integrates middleware easily with routes.

Features

• Define routes using PHP 8 Attributes.
• Support for GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, and OPTIONS methods.
• Regular expression patterns in routes.
• Filter integration with routes.
• Multiple controller namespaces.

Installation

1. Install via Composer

   Add the library to your CodeIgniter 4 project using Composer:

   composer require galihlasahido/codeigniter-attributeroutes

2. Update the Bootstrap File

   use Galihlasahido\Attributeroutes\Router\CustomRouter;
   use Config\Services;
   
   $routes = Services::routes();
   $customRouter = new CustomRouter($routes, Services::request(), ['App\\Controllers']);
   $customRouter->initialize();
   
   Services::injectMock('router', $customRouter);

   Adjust the namespaces in the array as per your project structure.

Usage

Defining Routes

Use attributes to define routes directly in the controller methods:

namespace App\Controllers;

use Galihlasahido\Codeigniter\Attributeroutes\Attributes\GetRoute;
use Galihlasahido\Codeigniter\Attributeroutes\Attributes\PostRoute;

class MyController {
    #[GetRoute('/', ['filter'=> 'MyFilter'])]
    public function index() {
        return "GET method with for index";
    }

    #[GetRoute('/test-get/(\d+)')]
    public function testGetMethod($id) {
        return "GET method with ID: $id";
    }

    #[PostRoute('/test-post')]
    public function testPostMethod() {
        return "POST method";
    }

}

Usage with different namespace

1. Update the Bootstrap File

   Modify your app/Config/Routes.php to use the custom router:

   use Galihlasahido\Attributeroutes\Router\CustomRouter;
   use Config\Services;
   
   $routes = Services::routes();
   $customRouter = new CustomRouter($routes, Services::request(), ['App\\Controllers', 'Modules\\Dashboard\\Controllers']);
   $customRouter->initialize();
   
   Services::injectMock('router', $customRouter);

   Modify your app/Config/Autoload.php to use the custom router, add this code to the class

   public function __construct() {
       parent::__construct();
       
       foreach(glob(ROOTPATH . 'modules/*', GLOB_ONLYDIR) as $item_dir) {
           $explode = explode(DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $item_dir);
           if (file_exists($item_dir)) {
               $this->psr4['Modules\\'.end($explode)] = ROOTPATH . 'modules/'.end($explode);
           }	
       }
   }

   To use the class you can build a class in the following folder

   └── Codeigniter project/
       └── Modules/
           ├── Controllers/
           │   └── Dashboard.php
           ├── Views
           ├── Config
           └── Models
   

   <?php
   
   namespace Modules\Dashboard\Controllers;
   
   use Galihlasahido\Codeigniter\Attributeroutes\Attributes\GetRoute;
   
   class Dashboard extends BaseController {
       
       public function __construct() {
       }
   
       #[GetRoute('/test-dashboard')]
       public function index() {
           return view('Modules\Dashboard\Views\main');
       }
   }
