Package Exports

url-router

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 (url-router) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Router

A URL router library.

Installing

npm install url-router --save

Examples

Browser:

import Router from 'url-router'

const router = new Router([
  ['/path/from', '/resolve/to', { layout: 'main' }],
  ['/resolve/to/function', () => { console.log('hello') }],
  ['/resolve/to/object', { template: 'hello' }],
  ['/in/fact/you/can/resolve/to/any/type', Symbol('hello')],
  ['/user/:id/profile', '/user/profile'],
  ['/services/:controller/:method', '/service/$1'],
  '/foo/bar',
  '/baz/*',
  [/^\/article\/(\d+)$/, '/article', { layout: 'main' }]
])

const route = router.find(location.pathname)

node.js:

const http = require('http')
const Router = require('url-router')
const url = require('url')

const ArticleController = require('./controllers/article')

const router = new Router({
  GET: [
    ['/article/:id', ArticleController.get]
  ],

  POST: [
    ['/article', ArticleController.create]
  ],

  PUT: [
    ['/article/:id', ArticleController.update]
  ],

  DELETE: [
    ['/article/:id', ArticleController.remove]
  ]
})

http.createServer((req, res) => {
  const _url = url.parse(req.url)
  const route = router.find(_url.pathname, req.method)
  route.handler(req, res)
  // ...
}).listen(8080)

API

new Router(routes)

Create a router.

Routes Definition:

const routes = {
  GET: [
    route,
    ...
  ],

  POST: [
    route,
    ...
  ],

  PUT: [
    route,
    ...
  ],

  DELETE: [
    route,
    ...
  ],

  ALL: [
    route,
    ...
  ]
}

Routes are grouped by different HTTP methods. Routes in group ALL will be checked by all requests regardless of method.

In the browser-side, there's no need to distinguish HTTP methods, we can simply write:

const routes = [
  route,
  ...
]

It's a shorthand of

const routes = {
  ALL: [
    route,
    ...
  ]
}
