🌳 radix3

Lightweight and fast router for JavaScript based on Radix Tree.

Usage

Install package:

# npm
npm i radix3

# yarn
yarn add radix3

# pnpm
pnpm i radix3

Import:

// ESM
import { createRouter } from 'radix3'

// CJS
const { createRouter } = require('radix3')

Create a router instance and insert routes:

const router = createRouter(/* options */)

router.insert('/path', { payload: 'this path' })
router.insert('/path/:name', { payload: 'named route' })
router.insert('/path/foo/**', { payload: 'wildcard route' })
router.insert('/path/foo/**:name', { payload: 'named wildcard route' })

Match route to access matched data:

router.lookup('/path')
// { payload: 'this path' }

router.lookup('/path/fooval')
// { payload: 'named route', params: { name: 'fooval' } }

router.lookup('/path/foo/bar/baz')
// { payload: 'wildcard route' }

router.lookup('/')
// null (no route matched for/)

Methods

router.insert(path, data)

path can be static or using :placeholder or ** for wildcard paths.

The data object will be returned on matching params. It should be an object like { handler } and not containing reserved keyword params.

router.lookup(path)

Returns matched data for path with optional params key if mached route using placeholders.

router.remove(path)

Remove route matching path.

Options

You can initialize router instance with options:

const router = createRouter({
  strictTrailingSlash: true,
  routes: {
    '/foo': {}
  }
})

• routes: An object specifying initial routes to add
• strictTrailingSlash: By default router ignored trailing slash for matching and adding routes. When set to true, matching with trailing slash is different.

Route Matcher

Creates a multi matcher from router tree that can match all routes matching path:

import { createRouter, toRouteMatcher } from 'radix3'

const router = createRouter({
  routes: {
    '/foo': { m: 'foo' }, // Matches /foo only
    '/foo/**': { m: 'foo/**' }, // Matches /foo/<any>
    '/foo/bar': { m: 'foo/bar' },  // Matches /foo/bar only
    '/foo/bar/baz': { m: 'foo/bar/baz' }, // Matches /foo/bar/baz only
    '/foo/*/baz': { m: 'foo/*/baz' } // Matches /foo/<any>/baz
  }
})

const matcher = toRouteMatcher(router)

const matches = matcher.matchAll('/foo/bar/baz')

// [
//   {
//     "m": "foo/**",
//   },
//   {
//     "m": "foo/*/baz",
//   },
//   {
//     "m": "foo/bar/baz",
//   },
// ]
