mcms-node-named-routes

Dead simple approach on creating named routes for express 4

What does it do

This packages allows you to add named routes on express 4.

Install

npm install mcms-node-named-routes

Usage

check the examples folder for usage scenarios Initialize like so :

var Route = require('mcms-node-named-routes');

Then add your routes

  var names = {
    Home : '/',
    Login : '/login',
    Logout : '/logout',
    Complex : '/complex/:param1/:param2'
  };

  Route.set(names);

Finally, if you want the reverse lookup functionality in your express templates, just add it tou the express router.

var router = express.Router();
router.use(Route.use);

or you can use it as middleware:

var routes = require('./routes/index')(Route); //declare your named routes in here like the example above
app.use('/',Route.use,routes);

That's it, now you can use the reverse lookup in your templates like so :

<a href="{{ Route.url('Home') }}">Home</a>
<a href="{{ Route.url('Complex',{param1 : 'test', param2 : 20}) }}">a more complex route</a>
