# koa-params

Add express style [params](http://expressjs.com/api.html#app.param)
support to [koa-route](https://github.com/koajs/route).

[![build status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/segmentio/koa-params.png)](http://travis-ci.org/segmentio/koa-params)

## Example

```js
var koa = require('koa');
var route = require('koa-route')
var paramify = require('koa-params');

route = paramify(route);
var param = route.param;
var get = route.get;

var app = koa();

// fake db
var users = {
'julian': { name: 'Julian Gruber', fun: true },
'badguy': { name: 'Bad Guy', fun: false }
};

param('user', function*(id, next){
var user = users[id];
if (!user) return this.status = 404;
this.user = user;
yield next;
});

app.use(get('/', function*(){
this.body = Object.keys(users);
}));

app.use(get('/:user', function*(){
this.body = this.user;
}));

app.listen(3000);
```

## Installation

```bash
$ npm install koa-params
```

## API

### paramify(route)

Return a cloned version of `route` with http verbs patched and added `.param`.

### route.param(param, fn)

When a route contains `:param`, call `fn` with its value and `next`. Wait for it to yield before continuing with the real route handler - unless you don't yield and the response ends.

You can register multiple `fns` per `param`, just as with express.

`fn` can be koa middleware too, when `fn` only takes one argument, `next` will be supplied.
