CoffeeScript Router

A standalone router written in CoffeeScript that anyone can use in their web apps. It uses Ruby on Rails like human readable routes with named parameters instead of ugly regular expresssions.

From project root:

cake build:all

Include the resulting minified javascript file in your webpage

<script src="coffeescript-router.min.js"></script>

Add the gem to your bundle

gem 'coffeescript-router'

Add the javascript file to application.js

//= require coffeescript-router

Add the setup for your routes somewhere in your code that will executed before the DOM is ready. Make sure to order the routes from most to least specific.

Router.add "/blog/:year/:month/:day", (params) ->
  # code for the route goes here

Router.add "/blog", (params) ->
  # code for the route goes here

Then execute the processor when the DOM is ready

$(document).on "ready", ->
  Router.process()
