Path Syntax

router5 uses path-parser for parsing, matching and generating URLs
Defining parameters
Four parameter types are supported:
:param: url parameters
;matrix: matrix parameters
*splat: for parameters spanning over multiple segments. Splat parameters are greedy and could swallow a
large part of your URL. It is recommended to handle with care and to ONLY use on routes without children.
?param1&param2 or ?:param1&:param2: query parameters
Constrained parameters
Url and matrix parameters can be constrained with a regular expression. Backslashes need to be escaped.
:param<\\d+> will match numbers only for parameter param
;id<[a-fA-F0-9]{8}> will match 8 characters hexadecimal strings for parameter id
Constraints are also applied when building paths: when passing incorrect params to .navigate(), an error will be thrown.
Absolute nested paths
You can define absolute nested paths (not concatenated with their parent's paths). Note that absolute paths are not allowed if any parent of a node has parameters.
const router = createRouter([
    { name: 'admin', path: '/admin' },
    { name: 'admin.users', path: '~/users' }
]);
​
router.buildPath('admin.users'); // '/users'
