# Krouter
A lightweight Android activity router written in Kotlin.

### Basic usage

```kotlin
// anywhere in the app, preferably on application creation
val krouter = Krouter.from(context, hashMapOf(
"user/:id/likes" to UserLikesActivity::class.java
))

// anywhere that can access the val above
krouter.start("user/42/likes") // this will start UserLikesActivity

// inside UserLikesActivity, possibly inside onCreate()
val id: Int = intent.getIntExtra("id", 0) // 42
```

### Adding more extras

In order to add more extras to the intent, one can do the following:
```kotlin
krouter.getRouter("user/42/likes")!!
.withIntent { it.putExtra("name", "John") }
.start()
```

### Starting for result

In order to set a request code:
```kotlin
krouter.getRouter("user/42/likes")!!
.startForResult(activity, 123) // 123 is the request code
```

### Advanced routing configuration

It is possible to instantiate Krouter establishing a regular expression that the parameter must specify:
```kotlin
val krouter = Krouter(context, hashMapOf(
Route("user/:id/likes", hashMapOf(
"id" to Schema("^[0-9]{2}$")
)) to UserLikesActivity::class.java
)
```

There are default implementations for integer, float, double, long, char:
```kotlin
// the constants must be statically imported from Schema.Type
Route("user/:id/likes", hashMapOf("id" to Schema(INT)))
Route("my/balance/:value", hashMapOf("value" to Schema(FLOAT)))
```

If no schema is defined, Krouter will try to infer the type accordingly.
If no schema is suitable, the param will be coerced to a String.

### Interceptor
You can add some interceptors to Krouter:

```Kotlin
// If you are not logged in, go to login
krouter.addInterceptor(object : Interceptor {
override fun intercept(chain: Interceptor.Chain): Router? {

val route = chain.request()
if(route?.url == "user/:id" && !login) {
val target = chain.proceed(route)
val router = krouter.getRouter("login")
router?.intent?.putExtra("nav", target?.url)
router?.update()
return router
}
return chain.proceed(route)
}

})
```

### Installation

Add the dependency:
```gradle
dependencies {
compile 'com.github.denisidoro.github:krouter:0.0.2'
}
```

### Best practices

- **Use dependency injection**: Krouter was idealized to be used in conjunction with Dagger.
- **Compose routers**: say you have an activity flow in your app that's only accessible to users who are admin, for instance. If you don't want to deal with a huge routing map that has routes *all* flows, then create multiple Krouter instances. `val globalKrouter` and `@AdminScope val adminKrouter`, for example.
