A simple route

leafeon.add('default', '/', function () {
    /* do something */
});

A simple route using parameter

leafeon.add('single_category', '/category/:id', function (id) {
  console.log('You requested the category #' + id);
});

Register a callback when route is not found. It returns router object.

leafeon.setErrorCallback(function () {
    throw new TypeError('I think there\'s a problem.');
});

Mapping routes using a route prefix

// This will create two routes under /docs prefix
leafeon.map('docs_', '/docs', [
    {
        name: 'intro', // will be registered as docs_intro
        path: '/',
        callback: () => { document.write('Hey! Welcome.') }
    },
    {
        name: 'get_started',
        path: '/get-started', // will be registered as /#/docs/get-started
        callback: getStartedAction()
    }
]);

Install the package :

npm i leafeon --save

const leafeon = require('leafeon').Router();
// or using ES6
// import * as leafeon from 'leafeon';
// const router = leafeon.Router();

leafeon.add('home', '/', () => {
    document.write('hello world');
})

leafeon.run();

1. Include leafeon.js in or at the end of the

<script src="leafeon.min.js"></script>

<!-- or via jsdelivr CDN -->
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/sundowndev/leafeon@latest/dist/leafeon.min.js"></script>

2. Init the router

const leafeon = new leafeon.Router();

3. Create some routes and run the router

leafeon
    .add('home', '/', () => { /* ... */ })
    .add('contact', '/contact', () => { /* ... */ })
    .setErrorCallback(() => { /* ... */ })
    .run();

Supports IE 11+, Chrome 43+, Opera 29+, and Firefox 41+

Register a route. Use : in path to create a parameter. It returns the router object.

Register several routes using a prefix name and path. Routes must be an array of object that follows this schema :

{
  name: string,
  path: string,
  callback: function
}

Fetch a registered route by name or path. For dynamic routes, It'll generate the path using given parameters.

leafeon.fetchRoute('home'); // or .fetchRoute('/');

// with parameters
leafeon.fetchRoute('/hello/:name', {name: 'Sundown'});

Get the current route :

{
    name: string,
    path: string,
    callback: function,
    paramsEnabled: boolean,
    params: array
}

Set the not found exception. It returns the router object.

Example :

// overwrite the default not found exception
leafeon.setErrorCallback(function () {
    document.write('Oh no! Page not found.');
});

Call the not found exception callback.

Register a middleware that will be executed before given path. Type * to target every routes. It returns the router object.

Run the router with registered routes. Optionally, register a middleware that will be executed after every routes callback.
