documentation

The module.exports a Parth constructor

var Parth = require('parth');

which can take the options below

var parth = new Parth(options);

options type object, can be

• options.defaultRE default regex used if none is given after the params

example:

var parth = new Parth({ defaultRE: /[^\s\/?#]+/ });
 
parth.set('/page/:view') // no regex given after ":view"
     .get('/page/10/?query=here')
// =>
{
  path: '/page/:view/',
  stem: '/page/:view:qs(?:\\/?)([?#][^\\/\\s]*)?',
  depth: 2,
  regex: /^\/page\/([^\s\/?#]+)(?:\/?)([?#][^\/\s]*)?/,
  match: '/page/10/?query=here',
  params: {
    view: '10',
    qs: '?query=here'
  },
  notFound: ''
}

NOTE: the query string is separated by default and assigned to qs. This will only happen if the path given to parth.set has no query string

parth.set

function set(string path[, object options])

This method job is to sanitize path and order it with those previously stored.

arguments

• path, type string, path to be set
• options, type object, to merge with this path properties

returns this

NOTE: options is deep cloned beforehand to avoid mutation

path can contain any number of parameters(regexes) in the form

 :param-label(\\regexp(?:here))

Any string matching the regular expression below qualifies as a parameter

/:([-\w]+)(\([^\s]+?[)][?)]*)?/g;

Go to http://regexr.com/ and test it out.

parth.get

function get(string path)

Take a string and return a clone of the store object properties

arguments

• path, type string to match stored paths with

return

• null for non-supported types or not matching paths
• object with all the information stored in parth.set

All matches are partial i.e. /^regex baby/. Not being strict is useful for notFound paths.

NOTE: the returned object is a deep copy of the original options given in parth.set to avoid mutation

parth properties

• parth.store: all paths set for match are here
• parth.regex: array of carefully ordered regexes
• parth.regex.master: regex aggregating all learned

why

I need it for the gulp-runtime module.

install

With npm

npm install --save parth

examples

Run the example.js file.

test

npm test

➜  parth (master) ✓ npm t
parth
  paths
    ✓ object
    ✓ raw object paths
    ✓ unix paths
    ✓ raw unix paths
    ✓ urls
    ✓ raw urls
    ✓ urls: querystring is stripped
    ✓ urls: hash is stripped
    ✓ urls: parameters are not mistaken as querystrings
    ✓ space separated paths
    ✓ raw, space separated paths
    ✓ unix, object and url paths together
    ✓ raw: unix, object and urls paths together
  params
    ✓ can be given as a string regex
    ✓ will contain all parameter keys at _
    ✓ parameter values should be at params
  notFound
    ✓ should be false for perfect match
    ✓ should have what is left of the path
