Impetuous

Impetuous is simple and fast Node.js Router for building web applications.

Impetuous uses Map and the freestyle implementation of Radix Tree for different types of routes. Due to this you achieve very high speed in all cases.

Installation

$ npm install impetuous

How to Use?

const http = require('http')
const Impetuous = require('impetuous')

const router = new Impetuous()

// Third handler argument can be, what you want
router.add('GET', '/path', () => {
  // Handle something
})

router.add('POST', '/path', () => {
  // Handle something
})

// Third handler argument can be, what you want
router.add('DELETE', '/path/:param', [
  () => {
    // Handle something
  },
  () => {
    // Handle something
  }
])

router.find('GET', '/path')
// -> { handler: [Function] }

router.find('GET', '/path/') // <- '/' at the end works
// -> { handler: [Function] }

router.find('POST', '/path')
// -> { handler: [Function] }

router.find('DELETE', '/path/123')
// -> { handler: [[Function, Function]], params: { param: 123 } }
