piroute v1.0.1

Install: npm install piroute

Usage: The following example assumes the following folder structure

• lib/
  • router/
    • index.js
    • handlers.js
• server.js

You might have an application with a server.js such as:

let http = require('http')
let port = 8000
let router = require('./lib/router')

let server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
  router(req, res)
})

console.log('Listening on port: ' + port)
server.listen(port)

This will simply forward the incoming requests to lib/router/index.js

In your router you can specify your routes, this file might look like:

let piroute = require('piroute')
let handlers = require('./handlers')

piroute.chart(function (route) {
  route('application', { path: '/', default: true }, function () {
    route('feed', { path: '/feed' })
    route('other', { path: '/other' })
  })
})

piroute.navigate(handlers)

module.exports = piroute.sail

Note the second argument when specifying a route will allow you to specify a default route

Your handlers will handle appropriate actions for the routes specified, or default. The handlers.js file might look like:

module.exports = {
  feed: function (options, res) {
    res.end('Route Feed triggered with options :' + JSON.stringify(options))
  },
  other: function (options, res) {
    res.end('Route Others triggered with options: ' + JSON.stringify(options))
  },
  application: function (options, res) {
    res.end('Application route triggered with options: ' + JSON.stringify(options))
  }
}
