Usage

Registering Routes

To register routes in your controller, first you have to import the Route annotation class:

<?php

use SmashedEgg\LaravelRouteAnnotation\Route;

The Route annotation class takes the following arguments:

• string|null $uri
• string|null $name
• string|null $domain
• array $schemes
• array $defaults
• array $methods
• array $middleware
• array $wheres
• int $priority (Set order of priority for routes, defaults to 0)

Here is an example controller using Route annotations:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Routing\Controller;
use SmashedEgg\LaravelRouteAnnotation\Route;

#[Route('/users', name: 'users.')]
class UserController extends Controller
{
    #[Route('/', name: 'home', methods: ['GET', 'POST'])]
    public function home()
    {
        return response()->make('users.home');
    }

    #[Route('/create', name: 'create', methods: ['GET', 'POST'])]
    public function create()
    {
        return response()->make('users.create');
    }

    #[Route('/edit/{id}', name: 'edit', methods: ['GET', 'POST'], wheres: ['id' => '[0-9]+'])]
    public function edit($id)
    {
        return response()->make('users.edit');
    }
}

Resource Routes

You can configure resource routes by doing the following:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Routing\Controller;
use SmashedEgg\LaravelRouteAnnotation\ResourceRoute;

#[ResourceRoute(name: 'photos')]
class PhotoController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
    }

    public function create()
    {
    }

    public function store()
    {
    }

    public function edit($id)
    {
    }

    public function update()
    {
    }

    public function destroy()
    {
    }
}

Api Resource Routes

You can configure api resource routes by doing the following:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Routing\Controller;
use SmashedEgg\LaravelRouteAnnotation\ApiResourceRoute;

#[ApiResourceRoute(name: 'api.photos')]
class PhotoApiController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
    }

    public function show()
    {
    }

    public function store()
    {
    }

    public function update()
    {
    }

    public function destroy()
    {
    }
}

Loading Routes

Loading routes from a single controller

In your routes file or service provider you can add the following to load routes for a given controller class.

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\UserController;


Route::annotation(UserController::class);

Loading routes from a directory

In your routes file or service provider you can add the following to load routes for a given directory.

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;


Route::directory(__DIR__ . '/Controllers');

You can also wrap them in route groups:

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

Route::middleware('web')->prefix('/app')->as('app.')->scopeBindings()->group(function() {
    Route::directory(__DIR__ . '/Controllers');
});
