Simple example

// ===========================
// DEFINE ROUTING
// ===========================

// jRouting === global variable
jRouting.route('/homepage/', view_homepage, init_homepage);
jRouting.route('/products/{category}/', view_products, ['data']);

// ROLES + OPTIONS
// v4.0 for jComponent and v3.0 classic version
jRouting.route('/secure/area/', view_products, ['auth', '@rolename1', '@rolename2', { custom: 'options' }]);

jRouting.middleware('auth', function(next, options, roles) {
    console.log(options);
    // --> { custom: 'options' }
    console.log(roles);
    // --> ['rolename1', 'rolename2']
});


// Supports HASHTAG routes
jRouting.route('#users', view_homepage, init_homepage);
jRouting.route('#products', view_homepage, init_homepage);
// jRouting.redirect('#users');

// ===========================
// DEFINE MIDDLEWARE
// ===========================

jRouting.middleware('data', function(next) {
    next();
    // next(new Error('Some error'))
    // IMPORTANT: jRouting won't execute any next middleware and a target route
});

// ===========================
// DEFINE VIEWS
// ===========================

function view_homepage() {
    var self = this;
    // self === jRouting
    $('#content').html('HOMEPAGE');
}

function init_homepage(next) {
    // is executed one time
    next();
}

function view_products(category) {
    // self === jRouting
	$('#content').html('PRODUCTS –> ' + category);
}

// ===========================
// DEFINE EVENTS
// ===========================

jRouting.on('location', function(url) {
     var menu = $('.menu');
     menu.find('.selected').removeClass('selected');
     menu.find('a[href="' + url + '"]').parent().addClass('selected');
});

jRouting.route(path, fn, [middleware], [init])

Create a route.

jRouting.route('/', view_homepage);
jRouting.route('/products/{category}/', view_products, ['middleware']);
jRouting.route('/products/{category}/', view_products, ['middleware'], function(next) {
    // initialization function
    next();
});

// OR
ROUTE('/', view_homepage);

jRouting.middleware(name, fn)

Create a middleware

jRouting.middleware('latest', function(next, options, roles) {
    // continue
	next();
});

jRouting.redirect(url, [model])

Redirect.

jRouting.redirect('/products/shoes/');

// or

jRouting.redirect('/products/shoes/', { from: 'jeans', latest: true, custom: 'model' });

jRouting.prev()

console.log(jRouting.prev());

jRouting.back()

jRouting.back();

jRouting.refresh();

Events

jRouting.on('ready')

Is the library ready?

jRouting.once('ready', function() {
	console.log('I\'m ready');
	jRouting.redirect('/homepage/');
});

jRouting.on('location')

Captures a new location.

jRouting.on('location', function(url) {
	console.log('new location --->', url);
});

jRouting.on('error')

Captures some error.

jRouting.on('error', function(error, url, description) {
	console.log('ERROR --->', error, url, description);
});

jRouting.on('status')

Captures a HTTP error.

jRouting.on('status', function(code, message) {
	switch (code) {
		case 404:
			console.log('NOT FOUND', message);
			break;
		case 500:
			console.log('INTERNAL ERROR', message);
			break;
	}
});

Assign links to jRouting

IMPORTANT: doesn't work with hashtags. Hashtags doesn't need a prevention for redirecting.

jR.clientside('a.jrouting');

// or
// <div class="jrouting" data-jr="/homepage/">CLICK ON ME</div>
jR.clientside('div.jrouting');

Alias: jRouting is too long as word

// use alias:
// jR === jRouting
jR.route('/', ...);

+v1.3.0 Async loading

<script async src="jquery.min.js"></script>
<script async src="jrouting.min.js"></script>

if (!window.jRoute)
    window.jRoute = [];

window.jRoute.push(function() {
    jRouting.route('/', function() {
        console.log('Classic route');
    });

    jRouting.route('#hashtag', function() {
        console.log('Hashtag');
    });
});
