not to have it at all."

unmon-router

a minimalist, express-like router

Unmon-router implements a lightweight, middleware router. Its api makes it compatible with most express middleware.

Usage

var http = require('http');
var unmon = require('unmon-router');
var app = unmon();

// log all request URLs
app.route(/.*/, function (req, res, next) {
    console.log(req.url);
    next();
});

// handle API requests
app.route(/^\/api\//, function (req, res, next) {
    res.end('{}');
});

// serve 404s for everything else
app.route(/.*/, function (req, res) {
    res.statusCode = 404;
    res.end('404');
});

http.createServer(app.compile()).listen(3007);

API

The above example illustrates the basic API.

1. initialize an app.
2. push middleware to a stack with app.route.

• unlike express, unmon expects the url pattern to be a regex, not a string
• the middleware function should use the (request, response, callback) signature

3. compile the app and pass it to the http module.

Install

With npm installed, run

$ npm install unmon-router

Acknowledgments

unmon-router was inspired by Expressjs.
