Slim 3 ControllerThis package adds controller support to the Slim 3 framework. This can be particularly useful when building MVC applications using Slim and the native Slim Twig View extension.

Installation:

Installation can be achieved via Composer as follows:

composer require benmajor/slim3-controller

Usage:

For the purposes of this documentation, all file references are defined relative to the root in which Slim3 is installed.

You should start by extending the Controller class within your own project to add custom functionality for the project. Below is a simple example of an custom Controller (notice the use of namespacing):

/controllers/Contact.php:

<?php

namespace MyApp\App\Controller;

use BenMajor\Slim3Controller\Controller;

class ContactController extends Controller
{
  public function index()
  {
    return $this->render('contact-main.twig', [ /* view data here */ ]);
  }
  
  public function send()
  {
    // Handle the sending of the contact form.
  }
}

In order to make use of the ContactController, you must define it for use along with your other application routes. The example below shows how to leverage Controller support:

/routes.php

<?php

use MyApp\App\Controller;

// Define the controllers:
$controllers = [
  'contact' => new ContactController($app)
];

$app->group('/contact', function() use ($app, $controllers) {
  $app->get('/', $controllers['contact']('index'));
  $app->post('/', $controllers['contact']('send'));
});
