Defining Routes

This page will guide you through how to define and organize routes in your Prisma PHP application.

Creating Routes

Prisma PHP uses a file-system based router where folders are used to define routes.

Each folder represents a route segment that maps to a URL segment. To create a nested route, you can nest folders inside each other.

A special index.php file is used to make route segments publicly accessible.

Note: The index.php file is the default file that will be executed when a route is accessed.

In this example, the /dashboard/analytics URL path is not publicly accessible because it does not have a corresponding index.php file. This folder could be used to store components, stylesheets, images, or other colocated files.

Creating UI

Special file conventions are used to create UI for each route segment. The most common are index to show UI unique to a route, and layouts to show UI that is shared across multiple routes.

For example, to create your first page, add a index.php file or edit the existing one inside the app directory and go to http://localhost:3000

Copy and paste the code below to your index.php file. This code will display a simple "Hello, World!" message on the screen.
