uritemplate

URI Template JS

This is a javascript implementation of RFC6570 - URI Template, and can expand templates up to and including Level 4 in that specification.

It exposes a constructor function UriTemplate with the two methods:

• (static) parse(uriTemplateText) returning an instance of UriTemplate
• expand(variables) returning an string

Requirements

You can use uritemplate.js in any even not so modern browser (Tested even with IE8 in IE7-Mode), see file demo.html. But you can also use it with node:

npm install uritemplate

and then:

var
    UriTemplate = require('uritemplate'),
    template;
template = UriTemplate.parse('{?query*}';
template.expand({query: {first: 1, second: 2}});
--> "?first=1&second=2"

If you want to clone the git project, be aware of the submodule uritemplate-test. So you have to to:

git https://github.com/fxa/uritemplate-js.git
git submodule init
git submodule update

Tests

The tests are taken from https://github.com/uri-templates/uritemplate-test as a submodule. Run the tests with

node test.js

Comming soon

• A new method extract(uri), which tries to extract the variables from a given uri
• Support of javascript's Date class
