Methods

new

syntax: r3, err = r3router:new()

Creates a r3 object. In case of failures, returns nil and a string describing the error.

syntax: r3, err = r3router:new(routes)

The routes is a array table, like { {methods, uri, callback} }.

* methods: It's an array table, we can put one or more method names together. Here is the valid method name: "GET", "POST", "PUT", "DELETE", "PATCH", "HEAD", "OPTIONS".
* uri: Client request uri.
* callback: Lua callback function.

Example:

-- foo handler
function foo(params)
    ngx.say("foo: ", require("cjson").encode(params))
end

local r3route = require "resty.r3"
local r3 = r3route.new({
    {{"GET"}, [[/foo/{:\w+}/{:\w+}]], foo}
})

add_router

We can add a router by specifying a lowercase method name.

Valid method name list: get, post, put, delete, patch, head, options.

-- route
local function foo(params)
    ngx.say("foo")
end

r3:get("/a", foo)
r3:post("/b", foo)
r3:put("/c", foo)
r3:delete("/d", foo)

syntax: r3, err = r3:insert_route(methods, uri, callback)

The routes is a array table, like { {methods, uri, callback} }.

* methods: It's an array table, we can put one or more method names together. If there was no method limit, we can use `nil` value.
* uri: Client request uri.
* callback: Lua callback function.

-- route
local function foo(params)
    ngx.say("foo")
end

r3:insert_route("/a", foo)
r3:insert_route({"GET", "POST"}, "/a", foo)
r3:insert_route({"GET"}, "/a", foo)

Back to TOC

compile

syntax: r3:compile()

It compiles our route paths into a prefix tree (trie). You must compile after adding all routes, otherwise it may fail to match.

Back to TOC

dispatch

syntax: ok = r3:dispatch(method, uri)

Dispatchs the path to the controller by method and uri.

local ok = r3:dispatch(ngx.req.get_method(), ngx.var.uri)
