Router ​

Thats the responsible MPF module for mapping all of your app entry points

You can find and edit it in the file index.php in your root dir of your app

sh
mpf@app:$ ls -la
drwxr-xr-x 1 adaomajor 197121     0 Jul  6 13:21 App/
drwxr-xr-x 1 adaomajor 197121     0 Jul  5 15:04 public/   <-- here is your static folder
drwxr-xr-x 1 adaomajor 197121     0 Jul  6 13:21 vendor/

-rw-r--r-- 1 adaomajor 197121   320 Jul  6 13:57 .env      <-- your .env file

mpf@app:$ cat index.php
php
<?php
    require __DIR__. "/vendor/autoload.php";
    use MPF\Core\Router;

    Router::get('/', function () {
        $view = new View('Welcome');
    });
    Router::fallback('404');
    Router::static("/public/");
    Router::run(); // this should in the last line before exit
    exit; // ensure the closed after any request is completed
?>

GET | POST ​

You can set routes for differents methods

php
Router::get('/', ['Home', 'index']);
Router::post('/login', ['User', 'login']);

Anonymous Function ​

You can pass the controller argument as an anonymous function

php
Router::get('/', function () {
    echo "Hello I'm from an anonymous function";
    reurn;
});
sh
curl http://127.0.0.1:8080/ -i
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Host: 127.0.0.1:8080
Date: Sun, 06 Jul 2025 13:34:08 GMT
Connection: close
x-powered-by: mpf-amj
Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

Hi I'm from anonymous function

Passing Controller ​

You can pass a controller for a specific route

php
use MPF\Controller\Home;
use MPF\Controller\User;
Router::get('/', ['Home', 'index']);
Router::post('/login', ['User', 'login']);

Passing Parameters ​

You can create routes passing parameters through the url

php
Router::get('/user/[id]', function ($id) {
    echo "Hello User with id: ".$id;
});

With a controller

php
Router::get('/post/[user_id]/[id]', ['Contller', 'Method']);
// so you treat the id inside the controller::method

Views ​

You can return a view as well, your views are in the the path /App/Views

php
use MPF\Core\View; //import the view Modeule
Router::get('/', function () {
    reurn View::view('Welcome') 
    // just pass the view name, without the extension Welcome.view.php
});

Fallback ​

In case of a 404 response you can send a custom 404 response

php
use MPF\Core\View;
use MPF\Core\Res;
Router::fallback(function () {
    Res::status(404);
    reurn View::view('404') 
});

Or you can just do it

php
use MPF\Core\View;
Router::fallback("404"); // pass down the view name

Static Files ​

Setting the static folder where your static files will be served from

js | css | jpeg | jpg | png | ico | ... ​

The static path for your static files must be outside the /App/ directory

php
Router::static("/public/"); // linux is case sensitive - be aware
