deparam

function

Extract data from a route path.

`route.deparam(url)`

Extract data from a url, creating an object representing its values.

route("{page}");

var result = route.deparam("page=home");
console.log(result.page); // -> "home"

Parameters

url {String}:
A route fragment to extract data from.

Returns

{Object}:

An object containing the extracted data.

Creates a data object based on the query string passed into it. This is useful to create an object based on the location.hash.

route.deparam("id=5&type=videos");
  // -> { id: 5, type: "videos" }

It's important to make sure the hash or exclamation point is not passed to route.deparam otherwise it will be included in the first property's name.

route.data.id = 5 // location.hash -> #!id=5
route.data.type = "videos"
  // location.hash -> #!id=5&type=videos
route.deparam(location.hash);
  // -> { #!id: 5, type: "videos" }

route.deparam will try and find a matching route and, if it does, will deconstruct the URL and parse out the key/value parameters into the data object.

route("{type}/{id}");

route.deparam("videos/5");
  // -> { id: 5, route: "{type}/{id}", type: "videos" }
