Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'navigable-router'
And then execute:
$ bundle install
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install navigable-router
Usage
To use Navigable::Router simply instantiate a router and add your routes:
router = Navigable::Router.new
router.get('/ahoy', to: -> (env) { [200, { 'Content-Type' => 'text/html' }, [ 'Ahoy!' ]] })
The destination of the route needs to respond to #call, like the lambda above, or these classes:
router.get('/swabbies', to: ShowSwabbies)
router.get('/swabbies/:id', to: ShowSwabbie)
router.post('/swabbies', to: CreateSwabbie)
router.put('/swabbies/:id', to: UpdateSwabbie)
router.delete('/swabbies/:id', to: DeleteSwabbie)
To run the app, add this to your config.ru:
run router
Development
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
