yarn add radix3

🌳 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",
//   },
// ]

Route Matcher Export

It is also possible to export and then rehydrate a matcher from pre-compiled rules.

 import { exportMatcher, createMatcherFromExport } from "radix3";

// Assuming you already have a matcher
// you can export this to a JSON-type object
const json = exportMatcher(matcher);

// and then rehydrate this later
const newMatcher = createMatcherFromExport(json);

const matches = newMatcher.matchAll("/foo/bar/baz");
