Routd

simple and efficient routing library based on the pathmax (https://github.com/influx6/pathmax) url pattern library

Installation

npm install routd

Example

Lets require and setup an instance of router ready to kickass

var rx = require('../routd.js');

var r = rx.Router.make();

/*
  Router.prototype.route
  Args: route, method, config
  route: the route intended to watch for
  method: the http method intend to watch only for
  config: these are pathmax configuration options,
eg {
 exactMatch: true | false, -> lets you decide if its must be a strict match or not
 noQuery: true | false, -> ensure either to allow urls to have querystrings or fail if they do when this is false
 lockHash: true | false, -> incase a hash pattern is giving as route,ensure the request url matches with location of hashtag '#'
 params:{
    //define the params and their type eg
    id: 'digits', -> ensure the id param is a numver
    name: 'text' -> ensure its a string,can contain both numbers,letters and symbols
  },
  validators:{
    //define custom validators or rewrite the normal ones
    digits: function(f){
      return typeof f === 'number';
    }
  }
  }
*/

r.route('/blog','post',{});

Lets add 'get' to the wanted http methods to watch for:

r.route('/blog','get'); 

Or just push it into the method list associated with the route

r.get('/blog').methods.push('get');

Now we can listen in for routes that match and the corresponding meta object returned

d.on('/blog',function(f){
  //lets listen for a general purpose matches all requests       
});

r.get('/blog')
.on('get', function(){
  //lets listen for only get http methods
})
.on('post',function(){
  //lets listen for only post http methods
});

Let's send in urls to check against:

d.analyze('/blog','post');
