JavaScript Router for Dojo

router_use_example.js

/*

Now to convince work to let me open-source this...

Javascript router for Dojo
* Influenced by hij1nx's SugarSkull router, RoR, and the ASP.NET MVC router
* Supports static names, regular expressions, and variables
* Automatic parsing for specified data types
* Events for first arrival (onFirst), entering (onEnter), always (on), and leaving (onLeave) a route
* Override-able controllers
* Hooks into dojo.hash

	controllers: [
		app.controllers.Home,
		app.controllers.Manage,
		app.controllers.Users
	], 
	
	routeMap: {
		"static": {		//static route
		},
		"{a:int}": {		//{variable_name:constraint}, data will be go through parseInt
		},
		"{a:float}": {
		},
		"{a:bool}": {
			on: "home#index" //calls app.controllers.Home.index();
		},
		"{a:regexp}": {		//regular expression match, returned as string
			regExp: /abc/
		},
		"{controller}": {			
			defaultValue: "home",	//if the constraint fails, use this value
			on: "on",
			onLeave: "leave",

router.init();
router.processRoute("/users/5");  //Calls users#first, users#enter, users#on, users#get
//dojo.hash("/users/5"); would have done the same thing
