SHITTY-ROUTER

I needed a really simple url router, that I could make more than one of. All of the options I looked at were a bit too complicated, or weren't reentrant, so I just went ahead and wrote a little one myself. It was pretty straightforward, but I figured it might help someone else.

Usage

http = require 'http'
ShittyRouter = require 'shitty-router'

myrouter = new ShittyRouter

# .addRoute is the function you're looking for
myrouter.addRoute "GET", '/posts', (params, extras) ->
  extras.res.end("Matched to /posts")
myrouter.addRoute "GET", '/posts/:id', (params, extras) ->
  extras.res.end("Matched to /posts/" + params.id)

# .addRouteRegex takes a regular expression, the names of any parameters,
# and the callback to fire if the expression is matched
#
# The callback takes first any parameters specified in regular expression,
# and second, additional information provided by the matcher

myrouter.addRouteRegex "GET", /\/user\/(?:([^\/]+?))$/, ["userid"], (params, extras) ->
  extras.res.end("Matched to /user/" + params.userid)

# You can skip the parameters if there aren't any

myrouter.addRouteRegex "GET", /\/test/, (params, extras) ->
  extras.res.end("Matched to /test")

# .match returns true if it matches any routes, and false if it doesn't
# it also calls the route's callback. You can pass that callback an object with
# anything it needs to know about.
server = http.createServer (req, res) ->
  res.end "404'd!" if not myrouter.match req.method, req.url, { req: req, res: res }
server.listen 8080
