Path-to-RegExp

Turn an Express-style path string such as /user/:name into a regular expression.

Note: This is a legacy branch. You should upgrade to 1.x.

Usage

var pathToRegexp = require('path-to-regexp');

path A string in the express format, an array of such strings, or a regular expression
keys An array to be populated with the keys present in the url. Once the function completes, this will be an array of strings.
options
options.sensitive Defaults to false, set this to true to make routes case sensitive
options.strict Defaults to false, set this to true to make the trailing slash matter.
options.end Defaults to true, set this to false to only match the prefix of the URL.

var keys = [];
var exp = pathToRegexp('/foo/:bar', keys);
//keys = ['bar']
//exp = /^\/foo\/(?:([^\/]+?))\/?$/i
