# Path-to-RegExp |
|
|
|
Turn an Express-style path string such as `/user/:name` into a regular expression. |
|
|
|
**Note:** This is a legacy branch. You should upgrade to `1.x`. |
|
|
|
## Usage |
|
|
|
```javascript |
|
var pathToRegexp = require('path-to-regexp'); |
|
``` |
|
|
|
### pathToRegexp(path, keys, options) |
|
|
|
- **path** A string in the express format, an array of such strings, or a regular expression |
|
- **keys** An array to be populated with the keys present in the url. Once the function completes, this will be an array of strings. |
|
- **options** |
|
- **options.sensitive** Defaults to false, set this to true to make routes case sensitive |
|
- **options.strict** Defaults to false, set this to true to make the trailing slash matter. |
|
- **options.end** Defaults to true, set this to false to only match the prefix of the URL. |
|
|
|
```javascript |
|
var keys = []; |
|
var exp = pathToRegexp('/foo/:bar', keys); |
|
//keys = ['bar'] |
|
//exp = /^\/foo\/(?:([^\/]+?))\/?$/i |
|
``` |
