jQuery plugin for simple hashrouting

Routing

$(document).hashroute('/', function(e) {
	// Home route activated
});
$(document).hashroute('/page1', function(e) {
	// Page1 route activated
});

These routes can be activated with simply setting hashurl to a link

<a href="#/">Go home</a>
<a href="#/page1">Page 1</a>

Also: When links are encased within nav element or nav -class, the corresponding elements also automatically get active-class on route change for styling needs.

<nav>
    <a href="#/">Go home</a>
    <a href="#/page1" class="active">Page 1</a>
</nav>

Binding to elements

You can also bind routes directly to elements

$('header').hashroute('/login', function(e) {
	this.html('Login Page')
});

Route parameters

Params can be set like so, :id and can be found from e.params object

$(document).hashroute('/page1/:item', function(e) {
	// Page 1, item e.params.item route activated
});
$(document).hashroute('/:page/:item', function(e) {
	// Page e.params.page, item e.params.item route activated
});

Special routes

404 - Route/Page not found

$.hashroute('404', function(e) {
	// Error 404 activated
});

Middleware

jquery.hashroute also supports middleware. In short, middleware is a function that is executed before any routing happens. This can be used for example checking authentication before loading the page.

$.hashroute('middleware', function(e) {
	console.log('First middleware - Setting e.first');
	e.first = true;
	this.next(); // Advance in the middleware stack
});
$(document).hashroute('/', function(e) {
	// e.first equals to true
});

Note: Middleware stack doesn't advance until this.next() is called.

Options

• verbose: (default: false) Show debug logs in console

Options can be set either by constructor or calling the set method.

$.hashroute({
	verbose: true
});
// OR
$.hashroute('set', 'verbose', true);
