README
Why?
I love the Laravel 4 routing system and I often use named routes like route('users.show', array('id' => 1))
to generate http://domain.tld/users/1
.
With the amazing uprising of Javascript frameworks (AngularJS, EmberJS, Backbone, etc.) it's hard to track changes on your routes between the backend and the REST calls from your Javascript.
The goal of this library is to expose those named routes to your frontend so you can do: Router.route('users.show', {id: 1})
and get the same result.
Laravel 5
I haven't had the time to update this package to Laravel 5. Eventually, I'll create a new repo for that.
Requirements
- Laravel 4.1
Installation
Begin by installing this package through Composer. Edit your project's composer.json
file to require fedeisas/laravel-4-js-routes
.
{ "require": { "laravel/framework": "4.0.*", "fedeisas/laravel-4-js-routes": "1.*" }, "minimum-stability" : "dev" }
Next, update Composer from the Terminal:
$ composer update
Once this operation completes, the final step is to add the service provider. Open app/config/app.php
, and add a new item to the providers array.
'Fedeisas\LaravelJsRoutes\LaravelJsRoutesServiceProvider',
Usage
By default the command will generate a routes.js
file on your project root. This contains all named routes in your app.
That's it! You're all set to go. Run the artisan
command from the Terminal to see the new routes:javascript
commands.
$ php artisan routes:javascript
Lazy Tip If you use Grunt, you could set up a watcher that runs this command whenever your routes files change.
Arguments
Options
Javascript usage
You have to include the generated file in your views (or your assets build process).
<script src="/path/to/routes.js" type="text/javascript">
And then you have a Routes
object on your global scope. You can use it as:
Router.route(route_name, params)
Example:
Router.route('users.show', {id: 1}) // returns http://dommain.tld/users/1
If you assign parameters that are not present on the URI, they will get appended as a query string:
Router.route('users.show', {id: 1, name: 'John', order: 'asc'}) // returns http://dommain.tld/users/1?name=John&order=asc
