File

File-based route loader.

class File extends \Hazaar\Application\Router\Loader\Loader

This loader initializes routing by including a route definition file from the configured application path. During inclusion, it temporarily exposes the active router instance through {@see Router::setInstance()} so route helper calls inside the file (for example Router::get() / Router::match()) can register routes.

It does not perform request-time matching directly; after initialization it defers request evaluation to the router's normal in-memory route matching flow.

Methods

initialise

Initializes routes by loading and executing the configured route file.

public initialise(): bool

Expected configuration keys:

• path: Base application path containing route definitions.
• file: Optional route filename (defaults to route.php).

evaluateRequest

Performs no direct request evaluation for file-based routes.

public evaluateRequest(Request $request): ?Route

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
$request	Request	incoming request instance (unused in this loader)
