When registering controllers in your project's index.php file, you need two variables: the path to match and the controller to pass the request on to.
For this example, our controller looks like this:
<?php
namespace App\Controllers;
use \Twist\Core\Controllers\Base;
class MySite extends Base {
public function _index() {
return '<h1>Index page</h1>' . print_r( $this -> _route() );
}
public function alpha() {
return '<h1>Page A</h1>' . print_r( $this -> _route() );
}
public function beta() {
return '<h1>Page B</h1>' . print_r( $this -> _route() );
}
public function gamma() {
return '<h1>Page C</h1>' . print_r( $this -> _route() );
}
}
You will most likely need a controller that handles the main pages of your project such as the index page. To do this, simply register the route /% which will pass any URI that is requested will be sent to the controller specified. The % is the wildcard that will match the method in the controller.
<?php
require_once( 'twist/framework.php' );
/*
* ================================
* Register the following routes to
* allow all requests to be handled
* by the MySite controller
* ================================
* URI | METHOD
* / | _index
* /alpha | alpha
* /beta | beta
* /gamma | gamma
* ================================
*/
Twist::Route() -> controller( '/%', 'MySite' );
To specify controllers for different areas of the site just update the URI to match in the registration method.
<?php
require_once( 'twist/framework.php' );
/*
* ================================
* Any request URI that begins with
* shop will match this rule and be
* sent on to the MySite controller
* ================================
* URI | METHOD
* /shop | _index
* /shop/alpha | alpha
* /shop/beta | beta
* /shop/gamma | gamma
* ================================
*/
Twist::Route() -> controller( '/shop/%', 'MySite' );
To serve your app's registered routes, simply add the following line to the end of your project's index.php file:
<?php
/*
* ================================
* Serve anything that has been set
* up in the routing
* ================================
*/
Twist::Route() -> serve();
