The Amazing Mustermann

Build Status Coverage Status Code Climate maintainability Gem Version Inline docs Documentation License Badges

This repository contains multiple projects (each installable as separate gems).

  • mustermann: Your personal string matching expert. This is probably what you're looking for.
  • mustermann-contrib: A meta gem depending on all other official mustermann gems.
  • mustermann-fileutils: Efficient file system operations using Mustermann patterns.
  • mustermann-strscan: A version of Ruby's StringScanner made for pattern objects.
  • mustermann-visualizer: Syntax highlighting and tree visualization for patterns.'
  • A selection of pattern types for mustermann, each as their own little library, see below.

Git versions with Bundler

You can easily use the latest edge version from GitHub of any of these gems via Bundler:

github 'sinatra/mustermann' do
  gem 'mustermann'
  gem 'mustermann-contrib'
end

Pattern Types

The identity, regexp and sinatra types are included in the mustermann gem, all the other types have their own gems.

Type Example Compatible with Notes
cake /:prefix/** CakePHP
express /:prefix+/:id(\d+) Express, pillar.js
flask /<prefix>/<int:id> Flask, Werkzeug
identity /image.png any software using strings Exact string matching (no parameter parsing).
pyramid /{prefix:.*}/{id} Pyramid, Pylons
rails /:slug(.:ext) Ruby on Rails, Journey, HTTP Router, Hanami, Scalatra (if configured), NYNY
regexp /(?<slug>[^\/]+) Oniguruma, Onigmo, regular expressions Created when you pass a regexp to Mustermann.new.
Does not support expanding or generating templates.
shell /*.{png,jpg} Unix Shell (bash, zsh) Does not support expanding or generating templates.
simple /:slug.:ext Sinatra (1.x), Scalatra, Dancer, Finatra, Spark, RCRouter, kick.js Implementation is a direct copy from Sinatra 1.3.
It is the predecessor of sinatra. Does not support expanding or generating templates.
sinatra /:slug(.:ext)? Sinatra (2.x), Padrino (>= 0.13.0), Pendragon, Angelo This is the default and the only type "invented here".
It is a superset of simple and has a common subset with template (and others).
uri-template /{+pre}/{page}{?q} RFC 6570, JSON API, JSON Home Documents and many more Standardized URI templates, can be generated from most other types.

Any software using Mustermann is obviously compatible with at least one of the above.

Requirements

Ruby 2.6+ compatible Ruby implementation.

JRuby support is unknown, see more in issue #72.
