Leaf router is the core routing engine which powers the Leaf PHP framework. Leaf router is now served as a serve-yourself module which can even be used outside the Leaf ecosystem.

Leaf Router is still built into Leaf Core and doesn't need to be installed separately.

You can easily install Leaf using Composer.

composer require leafs/router

If you are using leaf router with Leaf, you can build your leaf apps just as you've always done:

<?php
require __DIR__ . "vendor/autoload.php";

// GET example
app()->get("/", function () {
  response()->json([
    "message" => "Welcome!"
  ]);
});

// MATCH example
app()->match("GET", "/test", function () {
  response()->json([
    "message" => "Test!"
  ]);
});

app()->run();

If however, you are using leaf router outside of the leaf framework, you simply need to call these methods on the Leaf\Router object:

<?php

use Leaf\Router;

require __DIR__ . "vendor/autoload.php";

// GET example
Router::get("/", function () {
  echo json_encode([
    "message" => "Welcome!"
  ]);
});

// MATCH example
Router::match("GET", "/test", function () {
  echo json_encode([
    "message" => "Test!"
  ]);
});

Router::run();

You may quickly test this using the built-in PHP server:

php -S localhost:8000
