matula / routes.php
Created November 27, 2013 23:01
I was trying to have URLs like "http://example.com/myusername" and "http://example.com/myusername/about". Using Laravel, you're able to throw a wildcard in the prefix. The route needs to go at the end of the routes.php file if you have other static routes. #laravel
<?php
// Routes for usernames
Route::group(['prefix' => '{username}', 'before' => 'valid-user'], function()
{
Route::get('/', 'UserController@index');
Route::get('about', 'UserController@about');
});
// Check to make sure the user is valid
Route::filter('valid-user', function($route, $request)

$api_url = 'https://api.github.com/repos/' . $url[0] . '/' . $url[1];
