Experimental url router for NodeJS writtin in C++ using N-API.

Performance is not good because there is a huge overhead when calling native code from Javascript. A url router is not a good use case of N-API.

API

Router

constructor()
function add_route(method: string, route: string, handler: () => ()): void
function lookup(method: string, route: string): Lookup

Implementation

Instead of using a Trie, the route is tokenize using slash as a separator. This make the router slower but the code is extremely simpler.

For instance, the routes /users/:id, /users/me, /utilities, create the following tree:

               /    
      ---------|--------
      |                |
    users          utilities
    |   |
   me  :id

Possible routes conflicts like /users/me with /users/:id/posts are working using backtracking.

Usage

• compile addon: yarn install && yarn build
