jquery router plugin

This plugin handles routes for both hash and push state.

Why? Why another routing plugin? Because i couldn't find one that handles both hash and pushstate.

How to add routes

To add route you simply call the add function, providing it with the actual route string, an optional id, and the callback.

$.router.add(route, [id], callback);

Example:

// Adds a route for /items/:item and calls the callback when matched
$.router.add('/items/:item', function(data) {
	console.log(data.item);
});

or

// Adds a route for /items/:item and calls the callback when matched, but also has
// a reference to the routes id in $.router.currentId
$.router.add('/items/:item', 'foo', function(data) {
	console.log(data.item);
});

How to change urls and trigger routes

You can also change the current url to a route, and thereby triggering the route by calling go.

$.router.go(url, title);

Example:

// This will change the url to http://www.foo.com/items/mycoolitem and set the title to
// "My cool item" without reloading the page. If using hashes instead, it will use the url
// http://www.foo.com/#!items/mycoolitem.
// If a route has been set that matches it, it will be triggered.
$.router.go('/items/mycoolitem', 'My cool item');

Reseting all routes

If you need to remove all routes (which is good when testing) you just call:

$.router.reset();

Dealing with 404's

If a url is entered which doesn't fire a route callback (a.k.a. 404 Not Found) you can add your error callback to take that case and make it beautiful.

$.router.addErrorHandler(function (url) {
	// url is the URL which the router couldn't find a callback for
	console.log(url);
});
