class Yaf_Router (View source)

Yaf_Router is the standard framework router. Routing is the process of taking a URI endpoint (that part of the URI which comes after the base URI: see Yaf_Request_Abstract::setBaseUri()) and decomposing it into parameters to determine which module, controller, and action of that controller should receive the request. This values of the module, controller, action and other parameters are packaged into a Yaf_Request_Abstract object which is then processed by Yaf_Dispatcher. Routing occurs only once: when the request is initially received and before the first controller is dispatched. Yaf_Router is designed to allow for mod_rewrite-like functionality using pure PHP structures. It is very loosely based on Ruby on Rails routing and does not require any prior knowledge of webserver URL rewriting


Default Route

Yaf_Router comes pre-configured with a default route Yaf_Route_Static, which will match URIs in the shape of controller/action. Additionally, a module name may be specified as the first path element, allowing URIs of the form module/controller/action. Finally, it will also match any additional parameters appended to the URI by default - controller/action/var1/value1/var2/value2.


Note:

Module name must be defined in config, considering application.module="Index,Foo,Bar", in this case, only index, foo and bar can be considered as a module name. if doesn't config, there is only one module named "Index".

Methods

__construct()

No description

Yaf_Router|false
addRoute(string $name, Yaf_Route_Interface $route)

by default, Yaf_Router using a Yaf_Route_Static as its default route. you can add new routes into router's route stack by calling this method.


the newer route will be called before the older(route stack), and if the newer router return TRUE, the router process will be end. otherwise, the older one will be called.

Yaf_Router|false
addConfig(Yaf_Config_Abstract $config)

Add routes defined by configs into Yaf_Router's route stack

bool
route(Yaf_Request_Abstract $request)

No description

getRoute(string $name)

Retrieve a route by name, see also Yaf_Router::getCurrentRoute()

getRoutes()

No description

string
getCurrentRoute()

Get the name of the route which is effective in the route process.


Note:

You should call this method after the route process finished, since before that, this method will always return NULL.
