How to Use

It behaves like a simple key-value map.

const router = new Router();
router.add('GET', '/foo', 'foo');
router.add('GET', '/bar', 'bar');

const foo = router.route('GET', '/foo');
assert.deepEqual(foo, {
  type: 'found',
  value: 'foo',
  params: new Map([]),
});
const bar = router.route('GET', '/bar');
assert.deepEqual(bar, {
  type: 'found',
  value: 'bar',
  params: new Map([]),
});

And also, it can capture parameters.

const router = new Router();
router.add('GET', '/:param', 'foo');

const foo = router.route('GET', '/value');
assert.deepEqual(foo, {
  type: 'found',
  value: 'foo',
  params: new Map([
    ['param', 'value']
  ]),,
});
