## About

[Trie](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trie) routing for Koa based on [routington](https://github.com/jonathanong/routington).

Routes are orthogonal and strict, so the order of definition doesn't matter.
Unlike regexp routing, there's no wildcard routing and you can't `next` to the next matching route.

See [routington](https://github.com/jonathanong/routington) for more details.

## Versions

+ **Koa@1** is compatible with `1.x.x` versions of Trie-router
+ **Koa@2** is compatible with `2.x.x` versions

## Features

+ Express-style routing using `router.get`, `router.put`, `router.post`, etc
+ Named URL parameters
+ Responds to `OPTIONS` requests with allowed methods
+ Multiple route middleware
+ Multiple routers
+ Nestable routers
+ `405 Method Not Allowed` support
+ `501 Not Implemented` support

## Notes

The router handles `/foo` and `/foo/` as the different urls (see why [one](https://github.com/koajs/trie-router/issues/13), [two](https://github.com/pillarjs/routington/issues/13)). If you need the same behavior for these urls just add [koa-no-trailing-slash](https://github.com/tssm/koa-no-trailing-slash) on the top of your middleware queue.

## Usage

```js
const Koa = require('koa')
const Router = require('koa-trie-router')

let app = new Koa()
let router = new Router()

router
.use(function(ctx, next) {
console.log('* requests')
return next()
})
.get(function(ctx, next) {
console.log('GET requests')
return next()
})
.put('/foo', function (ctx) {
ctx.body = 'PUT /foo requests'
})
.post('/bar', function (ctx) {
ctx.body = 'POST /bar requests'
})

app.use(router.middleware())
app.listen(3000)
```

## API

### router.use(middleware...)
Handles all requests
```js
router.use(function(ctx) {
ctx.body = 'test' // All requests
})
```

### router\[method\](middleware...)
Handles requests only by one HTTP method
```js
router.get(function(ctx) {
ctx.body = 'GET' // GET requests
})
```

### router\[method\]\(paths, middleware...\)
Handles requests only by one HTTP method and one route

Where
+ `paths` is `{String|Array}`
+ `middleware` is `{Function|Array|AsyncFunction|Array}`

Signature
```js
router
.get('/one', middleware)
.post(['/two','/three'], middleware)
.put(['/four'], [middleware, middleware])
.del('/five', middleware, middleware, middleware)
```

### router.middleware()

Like Express, all routes belong to a single middleware.

You can use `koa-mount` for mounting of multiple routers:
```js
const Koa = require('koa')
const mount = require('koa-mount')
const Router = require('koa-trie-router')

let app = new Koa()
let router1 = new Router()
let router2 = new Router()

router1.get('/foo', middleware)
router2.get('/bar', middleware)

app.use(mount('/foo', router1.middleware()))
app.use(mount('/bar', router2.middleware()))
```

### router.isImplementedMethod(method)

Checks if the server implements a particular method and returns `true` or `false`.
This is not middleware, so you would have to use it in your own middleware.

```js
app.use(function(ctx, next) {
if (!router.isImplementedMethod(ctx.method)) {
ctx.status = 501
return
}
return next()
})
```

### ctx.request.params
`ctx.request.params` will be [defined](https://github.com/koajs/trie-router/blob/2.1.6/lib/Router.js#L176) with any matched parameters.

```js
router.get('/user/:name', async function (ctx, next) {
let name = ctx.request.params.name // or ctx.params.name
let user = await User.get(name)
return next()
})
```

### Error handling

The middleware throws an error with `code` _MALFORMEDURL_ when it encounters
a malformed path. An application can _try/catch_ this upstream, identify the error
by its code, and handle it however the developer chooses in the context of the
application- for example, re-throw as a 404.

### Path Definitions

For path definitions, see [routington](https://github.com/jonathanong/routington).
