sea-lion
Simple node http router
Why
I have been using beeline heavily for some time. I like how it works, but have always wanted to change how it was written and tested and be able to implement changes quickly.
Sea-lion is also be more modular to make maintenance easier, and keep the router just routing things.
Static file serving is now in the file-server module.
You can use it directly or to make it even easier, dion wraps the file-server module with sea-lion compatable signatures
Usage
var SeaLion = require('sea-lion');
var router = new SeaLion({ // Create a new router
'/foo': function(request, response, tokens) {
// Called when request.url === '/foo'
// Tokens will be a plain object with no keys
},
'/bar/`id`': function(request, response, tokens) {
// Called when request.url === '/bar/anything till the next slash'
// Tokens will be an object with id set to the value in the route
},
'/bar/`path...`': function(request, response, tokens) {
// Called when request.url === '/bar/anything including slashes'
// Tokens will be an object with path set to the value in the route
}
});
// Starts serve with routes defined above:
require('http').createServer(router.createHandler()).listen(8080);Precedence Rules
The order in which rules were added/defined is their order of precedence.
Rules with the least number of tokens will match first.
