Escaperoute

man, I sure do love writing things for node.js! It's pretty fun. It's also four AM and I should be in bed.

Escaperoute is my stab at URL routing for node.js:

// set up your routes

var escaperoute = require('escaperoute'),
    url = escaperoute.url,
    surl = escaperoute.surl,
    routes = escaperoute.routes;

var urls = routes('',
    url('^say_hello', function() { return arguments.length; }),
    url('^builtinfunction', 'path.join'),
    url('^archive/', 'archives.urls'),
    surl('^(:d{4})/(:w{3})/(:d{1,2})/([:d:w\\-]+)', function(req, resp, year, month, day, slug) { 
        return [year, month, day];
    }, 'detail-view')
);

// first example
var result = urls.match('say_hello');       // --> Function
result();                                   // --> "0" 
result(1,2,3);                              // --> "3"


// second example
var result = urls.match('builtinfunction'); // --> Function
result("hey","there");                      // --> "hey/there", same as `path.join("hey", "there")`

// third result
var result = urls.match('archive/2006');    // --> Function from a nested instance of `routes`

// fourth, assuming you're within a node.js server
var result = urls.match('2004/jan/3/hey-guys');
result(request, response);                  // --> [2004, 'jan', 3]

var reverse = urls.reverse('detail-view', [2000, 'mar', 23, 'yeah-yeah']);  // --> 2000/mar/23/yeah-yeah
reverse = urls.reverse('detail-view', [200, 'mar', 23, 'way-old'])          // THROWS NoReverseMatch Error
