path-parser

A small utility to parse and build paths. It can be used to partially or fully match paths against a defined pattern.

Partial match allows to determine if a given path starts with the defined pattern. It is used by route-node

Usage

var Path = require('path-parser');
// Defining a new path
var p = new Path('/users/profile/:id');
// Matching
p.match('/users/profile/00123')               // => {id: "00123"}
// Partial matching: does this path
// starts with that pattern?
p.partialMatch('/users/profile/00123/orders') // => {id: "00123"}
p.partialMatch('/profile/00123/orders')       // => false
// Building
p.build({id: '00123'})                       // => "users/profile/00123"

Defining parameters

• :param: for URL parameters
• *splat: for parameters spanning over multiple segments. Handle with care
• ?param1&param2 or ?:param1&:param2: for query parameters. Colons : are optional
