README

Why

I love the Laravel 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.

Installation

You can install this package via composer:

composer require macellan/laravel-js-routes

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
