Package Exports

houkou

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (houkou) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Documentation

There's not much to be documented, fortunately! The example below should cover just about everything (seriously). There's some tests in the test directory as well if you want some more examples.

Example Usage

Code:

var Houkou = require("houkou");

// create a new route
var route = new Houkou("/post/:id/:title", {requirements: {id: "[0-9]+"}});

// parse a url according to our route definition
var params = route.match("/post/123/this-is-an-example-post");

// print it out all pretty-like
console.log("Parsed:");
console.log(params);
console.log("");

// construct a url using our route as a template, filling in the variables with
// those supplied
var url = route.build(params);

// dump!
console.log("Generated:");
console.log(url);
console.log("");

Output:

Parsed:
{ id: '123', title: 'this-is-an-example-post' }

Generated:
/post/123/this-is-an-example-post
