Creates a new concatenated UrlMatcher
Builds a new UrlMatcher by appending another UrlMatcher to this one.
A UrlMatcher
instance to append as a child of the current UrlMatcher
.
Tests the specified url/path against this matcher.
Tests if the given url matches this matcher's pattern, and returns an object containing the captured parameter values. Returns null if the path does not match.
The returned object contains the values
of any search parameters that are mentioned in the pattern, but their value may be null if
they are not present in search
. This means that search parameters are always treated
as optional.
new UrlMatcher('/user/{id}?q&r').exec('/user/bob', {
x: '1', q: 'hello'
});
// returns { id: 'bob', q: 'hello', r: null }
The URL path to match, e.g. $location.path()
.
URL search parameters, e.g. $location.search()
.
URL hash e.g. $location.hash()
.
The captured parameter values.
Given a set of parameter values, creates a URL from this UrlMatcher.
Creates a URL that matches this pattern by substituting the specified values for the path and search parameters.
new UrlMatcher('/user/{id}?q').format({ id:'bob', q:'yes' });
// returns '/user/bob?q=yes'
the values to substitute for the parameters in this pattern.
the formatted URL (path and optionally search part).
Returns the input pattern string
Validates the input parameter values against this UrlMatcher
Checks an object hash of parameters to validate their correctness according to the parameter
types of this UrlMatcher
.
The object hash of parameters to validate.
Returns true
if params
validates, otherwise false
.
Compare two UrlMatchers
This comparison function converts a UrlMatcher into static and dynamic path segments. Each static path segment is a static string between a path separator (slash character). Each dynamic segment is a path parameter.
The comparison function sorts static segments before dynamic ones.
Generated using TypeDoc
Matches URLs against patterns.
Matches URLs against patterns and extracts named parameters from the path or the search part of the URL.
A URL pattern consists of a path pattern, optionally followed by '?' and a list of search (query) parameters. Multiple search parameter names are separated by '&'. Search parameters do not influence whether or not a URL is matched, but their values are passed through into the matched parameters returned by UrlMatcher.exec.
Path parameters are defined using curly brace placeholders (
/somepath/{param}
) or colon placeholders (/somePath/:param
).A parameter RegExp may be defined for a param after a colon (
/somePath/{param:[a-zA-Z0-9]+}
) in a curly brace placeholder. The regexp must match for the url to be matched. Should the regexp itself contain curly braces, they must be in matched pairs or escaped with a backslash.Note: a RegExp parameter will encode its value using either ParamTypes.path or ParamTypes.query.
Custom parameter types may also be specified after a colon (
/somePath/{param:int}
) in curly brace parameters. See UrlMatcherFactory.type for more information.Catch-all parameters are defined using an asterisk placeholder (
/somepath/*catchallparam
). A catch-all * parameter value will contain the remainder of the URL.Parameter names may contain only word characters (latin letters, digits, and underscore) and must be unique within the pattern (across both path and search parameters). A path parameter matches any number of characters other than '/'. For catch-all placeholders the path parameter matches any number of characters.
Examples:
'/hello/'
- Matches only if the path is exactly '/hello/'. There is no special treatment for trailing slashes, and patterns have to match the entire path, not just a prefix.'/user/:id'
- Matches '/user/bob' or '/user/1234!!!' or even '/user/' but not '/user' or '/user/bob/details'. The second path segment will be captured as the parameter 'id'.'/user/{id}'
- Same as the previous example, but using curly brace syntax.'/user/{id:[^/]*}'
- Same as the previous example.'/user/{id:[0-9a-fA-F]{1,8}}'
- Similar to the previous example, but only matches if the id parameter consists of 1 to 8 hex digits.'/files/{path:.*}'
- Matches any URL starting with '/files/' and captures the rest of the path into the parameter 'path'.'/files/*path'
- ditto.'/calendar/{start:date}'
- Matches "/calendar/2014-11-12" (because the pattern defined in the built-indate
ParamType matches2014-11-12
) and provides a Date object in $stateParams.start
