Initializing slim framework inside a wordpress plugin

Hi everyone,

I am trying to initialize the slim framework inside a WordPress plugin, but I keep getting Slim\Exception\HttpNotFoundException (404) Not found. error when I visit the /slim-endpoint/ url.

(I have confirmed and the rewrite_rules contains the correct rewrites)

Can anyone look at this code and suggest anything?

init-slim.php

<?php

defined('WPINC') || die;

use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface as Response;
use Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface as Request;
use Slim\Factory\AppFactory;

function wpsf_init_slim() {

  // Create Slim app instance

  $app = AppFactory::create();

  // Include route files
  $routes = __DIR__ . '/routes/*.route.php';
  $routes = glob($routes);
  foreach ($routes as $route) {
    include_once $route;
  }

  // Handle the current request
  $app->run();
}

function wpsf_add_rewrite_rules() {
  add_rewrite_rule('^slim-endpoint/?$', 'index.php?slim_route=slim-endpoint', 'top');
  add_rewrite_rule('^another-endpoint/?$', 'index.php?slim_route=another-endpoint', 'top');
}

function wpsf_flush_rewrite_rules() {
  wpsf_add_rewrite_rules();
  flush_rewrite_rules();
}

function wpsf_query_vars($vars) {
  $vars[] = 'slim_route';
  return $vars;
}

function wpsf_template_redirect() {
  global $wp_query;

  // Debugging output
  if (isset($wp_query->query_vars['slim_route'])) {
    error_log('Slim route detected in query_vars: ' . $wp_query->query_vars['slim_route']);
    wpsf_init_slim();
    exit; // Stop further execution if Slim route matched
  } else {
    error_log('Slim route not found in query_vars');
  }
}

add_filter('query_vars', 'wpsf_query_vars');
add_action('template_redirect', 'wpsf_template_redirect');
add_action('init', 'wpsf_add_rewrite_rules');
register_activation_hook(__FILE__, 'wpsf_flush_rewrite_rules');

./routes/test.route.php

<?php

defined('WPINC') || die;

// Define routes
$app->get('/slim-endpoint', function (Request $request, Response $response, $args) {
  $response->getBody()->write("Hello from Slim!");
  return $response;
});

$app->get('/another-endpoint', function (Request $request, Response $response, $args) {
  $response->getBody()->write("This is another endpoint.");
  return $response;
});

rewrite_rules option value in database

Array
(
  // other values
  [^slim-endpoint/?$] => index.php?slim_route=slim-endpoint
  [^another-endpoint/?$] => index.php?slim_route=another-endpoint
  // other values
)
