Examples

var route = new Route('/user/:id/posts/:pid');

assert(false == route.match('/something'));
assert(false == route.match('/user/123'));

var ret = route.match('/user/12/posts/1');
assert('12' == ret.id);
assert('1' == ret.pid);

should support wildcards.

var route = new Route('/file/*');
var ret = route.match('/file/js/jquery.js');
assert('js/jquery.js' == ret[0]);

should pass through regexps.

var route = new Route(/^\/foo/);
assert(route.match('/foo'));
assert(false == route.match('/bar'));

should ignore querystrings.

var route = new Route('/user/:id/posts/:pid');

assert(false == route.match('/something?hey'));

var ret = route.match('/user/12/posts/1?something=here');
assert('12' == ret.id);
assert('1' == ret.pid);

should decode the params.

var route = new Route('/user/:name');
var ret = route.match('/user/tj%20holowaychuk');
assert('tj holowaychuk' == ret.name);
