var connect = require('connect');
var route = require('way');

var app = connect();
app.use(route({
  method: 'GET',
  path: '/my-path',
  before: function (req, res, next) {
    // Do something here
    next();
  },
  handler: function (req, res) {
    res.end('you got served!');
  }
}));

http.createServer(app).listen(3000);

Standalone

var connect = require('connect');
var route = require('way');

var myRoute = route({
  method: 'GET',
  path: '/my-path/:id',
  before: function (req, res, next) {
    // Do something here
    next();
  },
  handler: function (req, res) {
    console.log(req.params.id);
    res.end('you got served!');
  }
});

http.createServe(function (req, res) {
  myRoute(req, res);
}).listen(3000);

Api

route(options)

Options

• path - the route. This pathname works exactly like Express routes. (i.e. /users/:id/friends/:friendId, etc.)
• method - http method type - GET, POST, etc. Defaults to GET.
• before - a single function or an array of functions to run before the handler.
  • they take the following method signature (similare to Connect/Express middleware):

  route({
    before: function (req, res, next) {
      next();
    }
  });

• handler - the final method called on the matching route.

  • this uses the following method signature:

  route({
    handler: function (req, res) {
      res.end(req.params);
    }
  });
