server-router

Performant radix-trie router for streaming servers.

Usage

var serverRouter = require('server-router')
var http = require('http')

var router = serverRouter()

router.route('GET', '/hello', function (req, res, ctx) {
  res.end('hello world')
})

router.route('PUT', '/hello/:name', function (req, res, ctx) {
  res.end('hi there ' + ctx.params.name)
})

http.createServer(router.start()).listen()

API

router = serverRouter(opts)

Create a new router with opts:

• default: (default: '/404') Path to default to when a route is not matched. If no default path is set, the router will crash when an unknown path is encountered.

router.route(method|routes, route, function(req, res, ctx))

Register a new route with an HTTP method name and a routename. Can register multiple handlers by passing an array of method names. ctx is an object with .params property that contains any params. It's safe to extend ctx with other values for the duration of the request.

router.match(req, res)

Match a route on a router.

handler = router.start()

Return a function that can be passed directly to http.createServer() and calls router.match().

Installation

$ npm install server-router
