Slim PHP Index Route Optional Parameter

votes

I'm trying to set an optional parameter on the index route but can't seem to get it working. I would like to have the option to be able to pass a parameter or not. I can't seem to get anything to work. I was expecting something like the following:

$app->get('/(:token)', function ($req, $res){
// Do Something
});

I came across this solution which is exactly what I want to achieve but can't seem to get it working. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you want the token to be optional, set it in route definition like this:

$app->get('/[(:token)]', function ($request, $response, $args) {
    // Will respond to both '/' and '/token'
    // Token value is accessible from $args argument
});

Note that the placeholder {:token} is wraped in square brackets, which makes it an optional segment.

You can read more on the topic in Slim3 User Guide.
