expressive-parser

Parse a raw javascript Object into a formatted routes object. (Used in Expressive.js and tools)

Example:

const routes = {
root: {
read: function(callback) {
callback(null, 'index page')
},
},
users: {
create: function(user, callback) {},
read: function(userId = '...user.id', callback) {},
},
}
const parser = require('expressive-parser')
const router = parser(routes)

Output:

[ { path: 'root', params: [], type: 'read', fn: [Function] },
{ path: 'users',
params: [ 'user' ],
type: 'create',
fn: [Function] },
{ path: 'users',
params: [ '...user.id' ],
type: 'read',
fn: [Function] } ]

Custom terms:

const terms = {
verbs: {
create: 'post',
read: 'get',
update: 'put',
delete: 'delete',
list: 'options',
auth: 'auth',
// Partial terms are coming soon!
}
}
const routes = {
root: {
get: function(callback) {
callback(null, 'index page')
},
},
users: {
post: function(user, callback) {},
get: function(userId = '...user.id', callback) {},
},
}
const router = parser(routes, terms)

Output:

[ { path: 'root', params: [], type: 'get', fn: [Function] },
{ path: 'users',
params: [ 'user' ],
type: 'post',
fn: [Function] },
{ path: 'users',
params: [ '...user.id' ],
type: 'get',
fn: [Function] } ]
