File

File-based route loader.

class File extends \Hazaar\Application\Router\Loader

Extends: Hazaar\Application\Router\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 Hazaar\Application\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

public initialise(): bool

Returns: bool

evaluateRequest

Parameters

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