Fast Route VS php-mvc

Adding https://github.com/nikic/FastRoute for comparison

Just to show an alternative: https://github.com/nikic/FastRoute

How hard did you look? There are plenty out there. FastRoute, Phroute, based on FastRoute, with basic middleware, League/Route - routing with middleware, using FastRoute, PSR 7 & 15, Slim Framework, at it's core, it like League/Route, etc. None of these require a full framework to use.

I'd recommend looking at the routers for popular, simpler frameworks (both documentation and code) such as Slim. Also look at FastRoute which is the basis for most modern routers.

Using a router library like FastRoute or Phroute to show the example

I've just recently started using https://github.com/nikic/FastRoute and it seems to work pretty well

I think a more popular one like https://github.com/nikic/FastRoute would benefit someone learning more than Aura.

The basics is the RouteCollection - https://github.com/nikic/FastRoute/blob/master/src/RouteCollector.php

Nikita Popov, author of FastRoute wrote a pretty good and complete article about how it works.

The class is heavily taken from a tutorial - https://github.com/daveh/php-mvc/blob/master/Core/Router.php which reviewing the issues, someone added HTTP method checks here - https://github.com/daveh/php-mvc/issues/33

If you still want to go the custom route, though, Dave Hollingworth has some example code from his PHP MVC Udemy course that I found extremely helpful and was some of the first material that I used to start learning new stuff. Basically, you set up the server, or htaccess, to restructure the URL query string, then use regular expressions to parse it and get the values.
