Implementations

trie-mux: mux.Mux

https://github.com/teambition/trie-mux/blob/master/mux/mux.go

package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "io/ioutil"
  "net/http"
  "net/http/httptest"

  "github.com/teambition/trie-mux/mux"
)

func main() {
  router := mux.New()
  router.Get("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, _ *http.Request, _ mux.Params) {
    w.Header().Set("Content-Type", "text/html; charset=utf-8")
    w.WriteHeader(200)
    w.Write([]byte("<h1>Hello, Gear!</h1>"))
  })

  router.Get("/view/:view", func(w http.ResponseWriter, _ *http.Request, params mux.Params) {
    view := params["view"]
    if view == "" {
      http.Error(w, "Invalid view", 400)
    } else {
      w.Header().Set("Content-Type", "text/html; charset=utf-8")
      w.WriteHeader(200)
      w.Write([]byte("View: " + view))
    }
  })

  // srv := http.Server{Addr: ":3000", Handler: router}
  // srv.ListenAndServe()
  srv := httptest.NewServer(router)
  defer srv.Close()

  res, _ := http.Get(srv.URL + "/view/users")
  body, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body)
  res.Body.Close()

  fmt.Println(res.StatusCode, string(body))
  // Output: 200 View: users
}

Gear: gear.Router

https://github.com/teambition/gear/blob/master/router.go

package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "io/ioutil"
  "net/http"

  "github.com/teambition/gear"
)

func main() {
  app := gear.New()

  router := gear.NewRouter()
  router.Get("/", func(ctx *gear.Context) error {
    return ctx.HTML(200, "<h1>Hello, Gear!</h1>")
  })
  router.Get("/view/:view", func(ctx *gear.Context) error {
    view := ctx.Param("view")
    if view == "" {
      return &gear.Error{Code: 400, Msg: "Invalid view"}
    }
    return ctx.HTML(200, "View: "+view)
  })

  app.UseHandler(router)
  srv := app.Start(":3000")
  defer srv.Close()

  res, _ := http.Get("http://" + srv.Addr().String() + "/view/users")
  body, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body)
  res.Body.Close()

  fmt.Println(res.StatusCode, string(body))
  // Output: 200 View: users
}

Pattern Rule

The defined pattern can contain six types of parameters:

Syntax	Description
`:name`	named parameter
`:name(regexp)`	named with regexp parameter
`:name+suffix`	named parameter with suffix matching
`:name(regexp)+suffix`	named with regexp parameter and suffix matching
`:name*`	named with catch-all parameter
`::name`	not named parameter, it is literal `:name`

Named parameters are dynamic path segments. They match anything until the next '/' or the path end:

Defined: /api/:type/:ID

/api/user/123             matched: type="user", ID="123"
/api/user                 no match
/api/user/123/comments    no match

Named with regexp parameters match anything using regexp until the next '/' or the path end:

Defined: /api/:type/:ID(^\d+$)

/api/user/123             matched: type="user", ID="123"
/api/user                 no match
/api/user/abc             no match
/api/user/123/comments    no match

Named parameters with suffix, such as Google API Design:

Defined: /api/:resource/:ID+:undelete

/api/file/123                     no match
/api/file/123:undelete            matched: resource="file", ID="123"
/api/file/123:undelete/comments   no match

Named with regexp parameters and suffix:

Defined: /api/:resource/:ID(^\d+$)+:cancel

/api/task/123                   no match
/api/task/123:cancel            matched: resource="task", ID="123"
/api/task/abc:cancel            no match

Named with catch-all parameters match anything until the path end, including the directory index (the '/' before the catch-all). Since they match anything until the end, catch-all parameters must always be the final path element.

Defined: /files/:filepath*

/files                           no match
/files/LICENSE                   matched: filepath="LICENSE"
/files/templates/article.html    matched: filepath="templates/article.html"

The value of parameters is saved on the Matched.Params. Retrieve the value of a parameter by name:

type := matched.Params("type")
id   := matched.Params("ID")

Url query string with ? can be provided when defining trie, but it will be ignored.

Defined: /files?pageSize=&pageToken= Equal to: /files

/files                           matched, query string will be ignored
/files/LICENSE                   no match
