RegexRouter

Unlike traditional routers that only match the path and method, RegexRouter allows to match any part of the HTTP request message, which includes headers, method, path, URL and query parameters, enabling customized and dynamic routing logic.

Notice: currently available in beta; avoid using in production.

Key Features

• Match Any Part of the Request: Goes beyond the basics of path and method matching: routes can be regex-based on headers, query strings, cookies, and more.

• Flexible: Provides and allows extension with middlewares and uses standard Web API syntax.

• Easy to Use: Plugin to any environment. It support's node.js, browser, edge, workers, etc.

• High Performance: Being small and straighforward, it is optimized for speed and efficiency to handle high traffic loads without compromising on routing capabilities.

Getting Started

Installation

Install RegexRouter via npm:

npm install @moveyourdigital/router

Basic Usage

import { createServer } from "http"
import { bind } from "@moveyourdigital/router/node"
import { Router } from "@moveyourdigital/router"
import { auth, logger, notFound, throwable } from "@moveyourdigital/router"

const router = new Router()
  .add(/.*/, logger(), throwable(), notFound())
  .add(/^POST/, () => new Response())
  .add(/^GET \/private\s/, auth({ secret: 'test' }), () => new Response())
  .add(/^GET \/(.*\n)+user-agent: (?<agent>.*)/i, (req, ctx) => {
    return Response.json(`Hello ${ctx.params?.get('agent')}`, {
      status: 201
    })
  })

bind(createServer, router).listen(3001) // bind for Node JS createServer
