Routing Laravel Package

Product Decisions This Supports

• Build vs Buy: Eliminates the need to build a custom routing layer from scratch, reducing development time and technical debt while leveraging a battle-tested solution with rigorous static analysis and PHP 8.2+ optimizations.
• Roadmap Alignment: Critical for products requiring multi-tenant routing (subdomains), API versioning (path scoping), or SEO-friendly URL patterns with dynamic parameters and constraints.
• Use Cases: Ideal for SaaS platforms needing dynamic route generation for user-specific domains, complex admin panels with hierarchical URLs, or high-performance microservices where URL parsing/generation must be consistent and efficient.

When to Consider This Package

• Adopt when: Your stack uses PHP 8.2+ (required), needs two-way URL conversion (matching requests + generating URLs), and requires advanced features like regex constraints, path/domain scoping, or RFC 3986-compliant encoding. Suitable for custom frameworks or non-Nette projects seeking standalone routing.
• Look elsewhere when: Using Laravel/Symfony (their native routing is more integrated), PHP <8.2 is required, or the project has trivial routing needs (e.g., simple static sites where built-in PHP routing suffices). Avoid if dependents are critical to your risk assessment—though low dependents may reflect niche usage rather than quality issues.
