Connect compatible router middleware that supports content negotiation
Copperhead is a connect compatible router middleware that supports content negotiation.
npm install copperhead
The router object has a method for each HTTP method. Each method needs at least
a handler function that gets req und res as parameters. If the function
returns nothing, the next middleware will be used. If the function returns a
string or object it will be used as response with an appropriate content type.
Optionally a method takes a path and a content type. The path variables are
exposed to the this object of the handler.
router.method [path], [content type], (req, res) ->
So for example if we want to use the GET method at the path /users/:name
for the content type text/html we would do
router.get '/users/:name', 'text/html', (req, res) ->
'Hello user '+@name+'!'
A more complete example
connect = require 'connect'
router = require 'copperhead'
app = connect()
app.use connect.logger 'dev'
app.use router
router.get '/foo', ->
'bar!'
router.get ->
'Hello World!'
router.get 'application/json', ->
hello: "World!"
router.get 'text/html', ->
'<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><title>Hello World!</title></head><body></body>Hello!</html>'
app.listen 3000
get, post, put, delete, options, patch

Use router.route to create a custom route.
route takes the arguments
app = connect()
app.use connect.logger 'dev'
app.use router
router.route 'custom', '/', '*/*', ->
"I'm custom!"
app.listen 3000
