Name

This is Lua implementation library base on FFI for rax.

This project depends on lua-resty-ipmatcher and lua-resty-expr.

This project has been working in microservices API gateway Apache APISIX.

The project is open sourced by Shenzhen ZhiLiu Technology Co., Ltd.

In addition to this open source version, our company also provides a more powerful and performing commercial version, and provides technical support. If you are interested in our commercial version, please contact us.

Methods

new

syntax: rx, err = radix.new(routes, opts)

The routes is a array table, like { {...}, {...}, {...} }, Each element in the array is a route, which is a hash table.

The attributes of each element may contain these:

The opts is an optional configuration controls the behavior of match. Fields below are supported: |name |description|default| |:-------- |:-----------|:-----| |no_param_match|disable Parameters in path|false|

Path

Full path match

local rx = radix.new({
    {
        paths = {"/aa", "/bb/cc", "/dd/ee/index.html"},
        metadata = "metadata /aa",
    },
    {
        paths = {"/gg"},
        metadata = "metadata /gg",
    },
    {
        paths = {"/index.html"},
        metadata = "metadata /index.html",
    },
})

Full path matching, allowing multiple paths to be specified at the same time.

Prefix match

local rx = radix.new({
    {
        paths = {"/aa/*", "/bb/cc/*"},
        metadata = "metadata /aa",
    },
    {
        paths = {"/gg/*"},
        metadata = "metadata /gg",
    },
})

Path prefix matching, allowing multiple paths to be specified at the same time.

Parameters in path

local rx = radix.new({
    {
        -- This handler will match /user/john but will not match /user/ or /user
        paths = {"/user/:user"},
        metadata = "metadata /user",
    },
    {
        -- However, this one will match /user/john/ and also /user/john/send/data
        paths = {"/user/:user/*action"},
        metadata = "metadata action",
    },
})

match

syntax: metadata = rx:match(path, opts)

• path: client request path.
• opts: a Lua table (optional).
  • method: optional, method name of client request.
  • host: optional, client request host.
  • remote_addr: optional, client remote address like 192.168.1.100.
  • paths: optional, a list of client request path.
  • vars: optional, a Lua table to fetch variable, default value is ngx.var to fetch Ningx builtin variable.

Matchs the route by method, path and host etc, and return metadata if successful.

local metadata = rx:match(ngx.var.uri, {...})

dispatch

syntax: ok = rx:dispatch(path, opts, ...)

• path: client request path.
• opts: a Lua table (optional).
  • method: optional, method name of client request.
  • host: optional, client request host.
  • remote_addr: optional, client remote address like 192.168.1.100.
  • vars: optional, a Lua table to fetch variable, default value is ngx.var to fetch Nginx builtin variable.

Matchs the route by method, path and host etc, and call handler function if successful.

local ok = rx:dispatch(ngx.var.uri, {...})
