Autoroutes

Routes for speed.

Install

pip install autoroutes

API

# Create a Routes instance
from autoroutes import Routes
routes = Routes()

# Register a new route
routes.add('path/to/resource/{id}', something='value', anything='else')

# Try to match a route
routes.match('path/to/resource/1234')
> ({'something': 'value', 'anything': 'else'}, {'id': '1234'})

Note: the order the routes are registered matters. At match time, routes will be tried in that order.

Placeholders

Placeholders are defined by a curly brace pair: path/{var}. By default, this will match any character but the slash ('/').

It's possible to control the placeholder type, either by:

• using a named type: alnum, digit, alpha, path (matches everything), any (matches everything, including empty string), string (default):

    path/to/{var:digit}
    path/to/{var:string}  # Same as path/to/{var}
  

• using a normal regex (slower; also note that regex containing curly braces is not yet supported)

    path/to/{var:\d\d\d}
  

Placeholders can appear anywhere in the path

path/to/file.{ext}
path/to/{name}.{ext}

Acknowledgements

This package has been first made as a Cython port of the R3 C router. See also python-r3, which was a first attempt to wrap R3. I was unhappy with the stability, and more curious about Cython, so I tried to make a first POC port, and was happy with it.
