Question 1

How to install and set up League Route in a PHP project?

Accepted Answer

Install via Composer with `composer require league/route`. Then, create a router instance, define routes using HTTP methods, and dispatch requests with PSR-7 request/response objects. Check the external documentation for code examples and best practices.

Question 2

League Route vs Laravel routing: which is better for my project?

Accepted Answer

League Route excels in PSR compliance and standalone performance, ideal for custom or interoperable PHP apps. Laravel routing is better if you want an integrated, opinionated framework with built-in features like Eloquent and Blade templating.

Question 3

How to add middleware to routes in League Route?

Accepted Answer

Use the `middleware()` method on the router or specific routes, passing PSR-15 middleware instances. Middleware can be stacked globally or per route, allowing for pre- and post-processing of requests in a pipeline.

Question 4

Does League Route support RESTful APIs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it supports RESTful APIs through route definitions for standard HTTP methods and parameters. It integrates with PSR-7 for handling requests and responses, making it straightforward to build structured API endpoints.

Question 5

How to handle errors like 404 in League Route?

Accepted Answer

Set up a fallback route or use exception handling strategies provided by the router. Typically, you can catch NotFoundException and return a custom PSR-7 response, such as a JSON error or HTML page.

Question 6

Can I use League Route with a DI container like PHP-DI?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it integrates with any PSR-11 compliant container. Pass the container to the router constructor, and it will automatically resolve dependencies for controller classes or callables defined in routes.
