Applications, Simplified

Write middleware:

$pathMiddleware = function (
    ServerRequestInterface $request,
    RequestHandlerInterface $handler
) {
    $uri  = $request->getUri();
    $path = $uri->getPath();

    return new TextResponse('You visited ' . $path, 200, ['X-Path' => $path]);
};

And add it to an application:

$app->get('/path', $pathMiddleware);
