Overview

Aeros provides a simple and expressive routing system. Routes are typically defined in the routes/web.php file and support all standard HTTP methods.

​
Supported HTTP Methods

The Router class supports the following HTTP methods:
  • get - Retrieve resources
  • post - Create new resources
  • put - Update/replace resources
  • patch - Partially update resources
  • delete - Remove resources

​
Basic Route Registration

Routes are registered using static method calls on the Route class. Each method accepts a URI path and a handler (either a closure or a controller reference).

​
GET Routes

Use GET routes to retrieve and display resources: 
Route::get('/', function() {
    return view('welcome');
});

Route::get('/users', function() {
    return view('users.index');
});

​
POST Routes

Use POST routes to create new resources: 
Route::post('/users', function() {
    // Create a new user
    return response()->json(['status' => 'created']);
});

​
PUT Routes

Use PUT routes to update or replace entire resources: 
Route::put('/users/{id}', function() {
    // Update user
    return response()->json(['status' => 'updated']);
});

​
PATCH Routes

Use PATCH routes to partially update resources: 
Route::patch('/users/{id}', function() {
    // Partially update user
    return response()->json(['status' => 'patched']);
});

​
DELETE Routes

Use DELETE routes to remove resources: 
Route::delete('/users/{id}', function() {
    // Delete user
    return response()->json(['status' => 'deleted']);
});

​
Route Handlers

​
Closure Handlers

You can use anonymous functions (closures) as route handlers: 
Route::get('/hello', function() {
    return 'Hello, World!';
});

​
Controller Handlers

For better organization, you can reference controller methods using the @ syntax: 
Route::get('/users', 'UserController@index');
Route::post('/users', 'UserController@store');
Route::put('/users/{id}', 'UserController@update');
Route::delete('/users/{id}', 'UserController@destroy');
If no method is specified, the router defaults to the index method: 
// Calls UserController@index
Route::get('/users', 'UserController');
Controller handlers are automatically resolved from the \App\Controllers\ namespace and must extend \Aeros\Src\Classes\Controller.

​
Route Files

By default, routes are loaded from routes/web.php. You can organize routes into separate files and load them conditionally: 
// routes/web.php - Default routes file
Route::get('/', 'HomeController@index');

// routes/admin.php - Admin routes
Route::get('/dashboard', 'Admin\DashboardController@index');
The router automatically loads route files based on the subdomain or URI prefix, allowing you to organize routes by feature or domain.
