URI Template JS

This is a javascript implementation of RFC6570 - URI Template, and can expand templates up to and including Level 4 in that specification.

It exposes a constructor function UriTemplate with the two methods:

• (static) parse(uriTemplateText)
• expand(variables)

Requirements

You can use uritemplate.js in any modern browsers (Tested even with IE8 in IE7-Mode), see file demo.html. But you can also use it with node:

npm install uritemplate

var
    UriTemplate = require('uritemplate'),
    template;
template = UriTemplate.parse('{?query*}';
template.expand({query: {first: 1, second: 2}});
--> "?firstParam=firstValue&secondParam=secondValue"

Tests

The tests are taken from https://github.com/uri-templates/uritemplate-test as a submodule. Run the tests with

node test.js

Comming soon

• npm support for npm install
• A new method extract(uri), which tries to extract the variables from a given uri
