usage

create a directory containing the rewrite direcive classes for you project inside your project dir. add n files containing rewrite functionality to that directory. the library will load and insantitate that rewrite classes.

sample rewrite class:

var   Class	= require( "ee-class" )
    , log 	= require( "ee-log" )
    , Rules = require( "../" ).Rules;



module.exports = new Class( {
    inherits: Rules  // <-- you have to extend the Rules class


    // ee-class contructor function
    , init: function( options ){
        this.addRules();
    }



    , addRules: function(){

        // from «/user/eventEmitter» to «/yeah»
        this.add( "/user/eventEmitter", "/yeah" ); 

        // same as abvove but do an external 302 redirect ( you may also use a 301 redirect )
        this.add( "/user/eventEmitter", "/yeah", 302 ); 

        // from «/user/anyUserID» to «/otheruser/anyUserID»
        this.add( "/user/:id", "/otheruser/:id" );

        // same as above, but change the request method to «put»
        this.add( "/user/:id", { to: "/otheruser/:id", method: "PUT" } );

        // from «/user/anyUserID» to «/otheruser/anyUserID»
        this.add( /user\/(.*)/gi, "/otheruser/$1" );

        // same as above but only if the method is «delete»
        this.add( { reg: /user\/(.*)/gi, method: "delete" }, "/otheruser/$1" );

        // run a function which may do whatever it wants
        this.add( function( request, response, nextRule, next ){
            log( "custom rule!" );
        } );

        // same as above but only if the request method is «post»
        this.add( { fn: function( request, response, nextRule, next ){
            log( "custom rule!" );
        }, method: "POST" } );
    }
} );

sample aplication making use of the rewriter middleware

var WebService = require( "ee-webservice" )
    , Rewriter = require( "em-rewrite" s);

// load webservice
var service = new WebService( {
      port: 		12001
    , interface:	Webservice.Webserver.IF_ANY
} );

// load rewriter
var rewriter = new Rewriter( "./myRulesClassDir" );

// add middleware to webservice
service.use( rewriter );

// start listening as soon the middleware is loaded
rewriter.on( "load", function(){
    service.listen();
} );
