What Is Router in Slim framework?
The Slim Framework’s router is built on top of the nikic/fastroute component, and it is remarkably fast and stable.
How to create routes in Slim framework?
You can define application routes using proxy methods on the \Slim\App instance. The Slim Framework provides methods for the most popular HTTP methods.
What Is GET Route?
In the GET Route, we can add a route that handles only GET HTTP requests with the Slim application’s GET() method.
Example for GET Route:
$app = new \Slim\App();
$app->get('/customers/{id}', function ($request, $response, $args) {
// Show customers identified by $args['id']
});
What Is POST Route?
In the POST Route, we can add a route that handles only POST HTTP requests with the Slim application’s POST() method.
Example for POST Route:
$app = new \Slim\App();
$app->post('/customers', function ($request, $response, $args) {
// Create new customers
});
What Is PUT Route?
In the PUT Route, we can add a route that handles only PUT HTTP requests with the Slim application’s PUT() method.
Example for PUT Route:
$app = new \Slim\App();
$app->put('/customers/{id}', function ($request, $response, $args) {
// Update customers identified by $args['id']
});
What Is DELETE Route?
In the DELETE Route, we can add a route that handles only DELETE HTTP requests with the Slim application’s DELETE() method.
Example for DELETE Route:
$app = new \Slim\App();
$app->delete('/customers/{id}', function ($request, $response, $args) {
// Delete customers identified by $args['id']
});
What Is OPTIONS Route?
In the OPTIONS Route, we can add a route that handles only OPTIONS HTTP requests with the Slim application’s OPTIONS() method.
Example for OPTIONS Route:
$app = new \Slim\App();
$app->options('/customers/{id}', function ($request, $response, $args) {
// Return response headers
});
What Is PATCH Route?
In the PATCH Route, we can add a route that handles only PATCH HTTP requests with the Slim application’s PATCH() method.
Example for PATCH Route:
$app = new \Slim\App();
$app->patch('/customers/{id}', function ($request, $response, $args) {
// Apply changes to customers identified by $args['id']
});
What Is Any Route?
In the Any Route, we can add a route that handles only Any HTTP requests with the Slim application’s Any() method.
Example for Any Route:
$app = new \Slim\App();
$app->any('/customers/[{id}]', function ($request, $response, $args) {
// Apply changes to customers identified by $args['id'] if specified.
// To check which method is used: $request->getMethod();
});
