wayjs v0.4.0

WayJS

Light and flexible URL routing in JavaScript.

Tests:

You'll need mocha to run the tests.

Run npm install -g. The -g flag tells the NPM to install it globally so mocha's binaries goes in /usr/bin directory.

Then run mocha.

Usage:

Register a new route:

way.map('/hello', function() {
  console.log('Hello, world');
});

Then match some path against route table:

var action = way.match('/hello');

This will return either the callback or null if no matching route is found.

action(); //-> console.log('Hello, world');

Way can be used within the browser or with Node.

Route patterns accepts 3 special syntaxes:

Named parameters

way.map('/log/:message', function() {
  console.log(way.params.message);
});

Optional groups

way.map('(/good)/bye', function() {
  console.log('Farewell!!');
})

Splats

way.map('/goto/*', function() {
  console.log('Goto: ', way.params.splat);
});

They can be combined to create powerful routes.

Also please note that routes are matched in the order they're registered.

Roadmap:

1. Hooks
2. Better tests
3. Skipping routes
