# About

Extended, but still simple and fast router for [connect] or other middleware with the same interface.

# Installation

You will need [node] version >= 6 and [npm] to install and use this module:

    npm install connect-route-ext

# Usage

```js
var connectRoute = require('connect-route-ext')
var connect = require('connect')
var app = connect()

app.use(connectRoute(function (router) {
  router.get('/', function (req, res, next) {
          res.end('index')
        })
        .get('/home', function (req, res, next) {
          res.end('home')
        })
        .get('/home/:id', function (req, res, next) {
          res.end('home ' + req.params.id)
        })
        .get('/home/*path', function (req, res, next) {
          res.end('home ' + req.params.path.join('/'))
        })
        .post('/home', function (req, res, next) {
          res.end('POST to home')
        })

  function authenticate(req, res, next) {
    if (authenticated(req)) {
      next()
    } else {
      fail(res)
    }
  }

  router.get('/secret', authenticate, function (req, res, next) {
    res.end('secret')
  })
}))

app.listen(3000)
```

## Background

This project started as a fork of [connect-route] and added functionality to support usage scenarios needed by a more complex server, which supports an SPA:

* Match the rest of the path by "*path" parameter
* Pass multiple chained handlers to a single route

## Contributing

In lieu of a formal style guide, take care to maintain the existing coding style.
