Slim framework as Wordpress plugin

Wordpress Slim framework plugin

I built this plugin from a need of using a micro framework as Slim but inside Wordpress.

Installation

Copy wp-slim-framework folder with all it's content's into /wp-content/plugins directory. From Wordpress administrator enable the plugin and you are ready to go. But keep in mind that after enabling this plugin Wordpress must use permalinks Settings -> Permalinks use any structure except default one and Save changes.

Usage

To use it all you have to do is to map your routes. This plugin will register your routes when action slim_mapping is triggered. This action has one argument which is the Slim object.

Example of usage:

add_action('slim_mapping',function($slim){
    $slim->get('/slim/api/user/:u',function($user){
    printf("User is %s",$user);            
    });
});

Example of usage inside of a class:

class Rest{
    function __construct(){
        add_action('slim_mapping',array(&$this,'slim_mapping');            
    }

    function slim_mapping($slim){
        //if needed the class context
        $context = $this;
        $slim->get('/slim/api/user/:u',function($user)use($context){
              $context->printUser($user);            
        });
        $slim->put('/slim/api/user/:id',function($id)use($context){
              $context->updateUser($id);
        });
        //.... and so on
    }

    function printUser($user){
        printf("User is %s",$user);
    }
}

The default base path of the url is /slim/api. Added the possibility to change the base path, it can be found in Settings -> Slim Framework. Note: All routes must have the default base path /slim/api or the one used here Settings -> Slim Framework. This is added to avoid misunderstandings with Wordpress permalinks.
