Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Routable

Build Status

Routable is a lightweight regular expression inspired HTTP route parser for Node.js. It only has one goal and that is to match and parse URL's for frameworks.

Installation

The module is released in the npm registry as routable:

npm install --save routable

The --save automatically adds the routable module to your package.json.

Getting started

All the examples in this getting started assume that you have included the module in your code and exposed it as a Routable variable:

'use strict';

var Routable = require('routable');

To create a new route simply construct a new Routable instance with an URL pattern:

var foo = new Routable('/foo');

There are different patterns that can be used for testing against URL's. Routable supports testing against strings, Regular Expressions and even xRegExp based expressions. See patterns for more details.

Now that you've created your first Routable instance you can use it to test against URL's. To see if a URL matches the your Routable instance you can use the Routable#test method:

Routable.test(url)

Just like the RegularExpression.test method, it returns a boolean indicating if the given string matches the expression or not. The same is true for Routable but instead of testing a Regular Express you're testing your pattern.

var foo = new Routable('/foo');

foo.test('/bar');   // false;
foo.test('/foo');   // true;
foo.test('/fooo');  // false;

While quickly testing an URL is useful sometimes you also want to parse out the information from the URL. If you have a capturing or named Regular Expression or string you can use the routable#exec

Routable.exec(url)

With normal RegularExpression.exec you can either undefined or an Array with results as return value. With a Routable instance you still get undefined when there isn't a match but instead of an array you receive an Object.

var foobar = new Routable('/foo/:bar');

var res = foobar.exec('/foo/foo');

console.log(res.bar); // 'foo'

Patterns

  • Regular Expressions /\/foo/.
  • Capturing Regular Expressions /\/(foo|bar)\/bar/.
  • Capturing strings /foo/:bar/1/:baz.
  • Optional parameters /foo/:bar?.
  • Plain strings /foo/bar
