// Response Time: 0.0346ms

Enhanced Router Method Signatures

// Router methods now accept callable|array union types
public function get(string $path, callable|array $handler): void
public function post(string $path, callable|array $handler): void
public function put(string $path, callable|array $handler): void
public function patch(string $path, callable|array $handler): void
public function delete(string $path, callable|array $handler): void
public function options(string $path, callable|array $handler): void

🔄 Migration Guide

Automatic Migration (Recommended)

No code changes required! v1.1.4 maintains 100% backward compatibility.

// All existing code works unchanged
$app->get('/users', function($req, $res) {
    return $res->json(['users' => []]);
});

// Named functions still work
$app->get('/posts', 'getPostsHandler');

Optional: Modernize to Array Callables

// Before (still works)
$app->get('/users', function($req, $res) {
    return UserController::index($req, $res);
});

// After (recommended for PHP 8.4+)
$app->get('/users', [UserController::class, 'index']);
